Okay, stop. These words I’m about to type are half for half entertaining and half thought experiment purposes. Usually you can take anything I write as my legit point of view that I endorse. These words that you might not even read aren’t quite that. I stand by the numbers but I don’t necessarily endorse the idea. Got that out of the way? Good.
A bit ago, Whit Merrifield said he’s interested in a long term deal with the Royals, that it’s “hopefully something that could be possible down the road”. Royals fans sure would be happy to have Whit around for awhile as the face of a franchise that’s in for a long road of pain.
