The KC Royals under Dayton Moore have been known to come to agreements with players before the arbitration hearings and the trend continues in 2020.
Going through a complete arbitration process essentially pits the KC Royals against the player by arguing why the employee should not earn as much as they are requesting. Moore recognizes this and goes to great lengths to reach deals instead of going to trial.
It should be no surprise then that three agreements were reached. Jesse Hahn, Jakob Junis, and Franchy Cordero all have new one-year deals in place.
