The door finally opens for Gutierrez
Follow @RoyalsBlue_com On December 2, the Royals non-tendered third baseman Maikel Franco making him a free agent.

General Manager Dayton Moore told Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com “It was a difficult decision.” Moore continued, ” He really did a great job for us; but going forward we felt we had internal options at third base,...

A potential Jorge Soler contract extension
Follow @RoyalsBlue_com The Royals have multiple players that are eligible for contract extensions including Jorge Soler. I’m guessing many Royals fans would love to see Soler sign a long-term contract. Believe me, I would too, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

Could Cam Bedrosian fit in the Royals’ plans?
Follow @RoyalsBlue_com The Royals are looking for pitchers with multiple arbitration years remaining on their contacts. The Royals are also looking to get younger in the near future. In 2021, however, I believe their bullpen will be a mix of young and veteran arms; but, I believe Cam Bedrosian is an exception. Bedrosian is heading into his final year of arbitration eligibility. I believe the Royals will consider giving him a look...
