The Royals are trying to re-sign Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas, two of their big three free agents, according to a report from MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman on Sunday. But according to the report, they "appear to have all but given up hope" that they'll be able to keep the third, Lorenzo Cain, in Kansas City.
Hosmer, Moustakas and Cain -- core members of the Royals teams that won the American League pennant in 2014 and the World Series in '15 -- all received qualifying offers from the Royals last week.
