Great article today David, just a couple of thoughts on Benni, I would probably let him go to arbitration and see what he does next year. If we have enough outfield option for 2023 , you can let him walk, if not you try to resign him then. As far as Singer, he seems to me like a guy that's always been the star that thinks he knows it all. I would think about putting him with Santana and seeing what they could get, maybe a veteran starter.
I also want to see what Singer brings to spring training after an off season of developing a 3rd pitch. If he does in spring training what he is doing now (condescendingly throwing the change up to appease the staff) then a designation to AAA hopefully will open his eyes he has to do it to remain a big leaguer. I hope the organization has that mind set.
The first two things the Royals need to do this season is sign Benetendi and Lopes to long er 3-5 year contracts. They are both the real deal and in their 20s. The will both barely be in their 30s even when a five year deal expires.
I like hearing what others think of the Royals too, good to get that perspective. Interesting stuff.
Do you think he is working to get a good deal to get back to Boston?
Looks like he is a perfect fit for the Royals. Building that next World Series team
