Reactions to the Salvador Pérez contract

The Royals have inked Salvador Pérez to a four-year $82 million contract extension with a $13.5 million club option. The deal will ensure Salvy does not free agency following this season, and it keeps him in Kansas City through at least 2025.

The contract comes off a career season for Salvy, in which he hit .333/.353/.633 with 11 home runs in 37 games, earning the Silver Slugger Award. However it comes with a fair amount of risk, guaranteeing a catcher going into his 30s the most money in club history. Here is a collection of reactions to the signing.
