According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, free agent Eric Hosmer and his agent Scott Boras has received two contract offers. The San Diego Padres are reported to have submitted a contract for seven years and $140 million, while the Kansas City Royals have submitted an offer for the same contract length but $147 million. Nightengale’s report states that Boras wants to secure a contract length of 8-9 years or more, which is ambitious to say the least. The St. Louis Cardinals are also rumored to be involved with Hosmer, but the free agent first baseman’s market appears to be limited to no more than a handful of teams.
