The Royals are at a crossroads this off-season, given the choice of either trying to bring back their free agent stars to compete again in the near future, or tearing it all down and rebuilding in a process that will likely take several seasons. Kansas City Star columnist Sam Mellinger has written that this decision will rest largely with whether or not the Royals feel they can re-sign Eric Hosmer, a free agent that will likely command in excess of $100 million. If the Royals cannot sign Hosmer, then most likely they will undergo some sort of rebuild.
Jon Heyman writes Royals are “looking closely” at bringing back Hosmer and Moustakas, but take it with a grain of salt
