1 year 11m.

Rios is unproductive and not worth $11. $9. or $6 mil

11 million seems like a huge overpay.

Agree, Royals are banking on Rios and Morales having better years.

Signings like this will make it more difficult for DD to sign players like Young and Morse.

Colby Rasmus price just went up.

Colby Rasmus price just went up.

Great, I hope someone else signs him.

Likewise. Glad De Aza is reasonably priced. He is as good as either of them. Rasmus or Rios.

Scrubs now get 10-11 per. Funny market.

Supply and Demand.

Yeah kind of makes guys like me, who thought he would be a non-tender candidate because of his price, look pretty silly. Unless the market for Young and Morse comes down I don't see DD signing either one. Given the numbers we've heard on Aoki, he's too rich for our blood also.

I love how the Royals are outspending us
