If the KC Royals want to make gains in fan interest and attendance, and jump into playoff consideration, a trade for a Cubs All-Star would do it.
After his down year, the Chicago Cubs’ timing is a bit questionable in unloading Kris Bryant. It is rumored they would like to shed salary, and offloading this stud hitter would certainly help with that. If the KC Royals acquire him, it would not put a dent in future plans.
It is estimated he could make around $19 million, which is close to what his prorated contract for 2020 would have been.
