It has only been a few days since Bobby Witt Jr. signed his franchise-record, franchise-altering, and perhaps franchise-defining contract extension that makes it exceptionally likely that he will play for the Kansas City Royals until he is at least 30 years old and could easily lead him to spend his entire career in Royal blue.
This is a good thing.
There are no ifs, ands, or buts in that statement for a reason. That reason is because they do not belong there. Even if the worst-case scenario should happen and Bobby becomes a dumpster fire of a player or ceases to be able to play at all for any reason, the signal it sends to fans and the baseball world at large that the team can do such a deal is meaningful.
