Death, taxes, and the Royals winning when Alcides Escobar bats leadoff.
On March 7, 35-year-old pitcher Chris Young signed a one year contract with the Kansas City Royals worth a measly $675,000. Despite being the American League Comeback Player of the Year in 2014 after a great season with the Seattle Mariners, Young commanded no interest while on the free agent market. Dayton Moore's reasoning for signing Young was quite simply, "why not?"
As the 2015 season comes to a close with the Royals among baseball's best squads, 29 teams are kicking themselves for not going after Young.
