Whit Merrifield debuted with the Royals in 2016, one year after they won the World Series.
Now it's apparent the Royals expect him to be on their roster when they're ready to return to the postseason.
Merrifield and the Royals finalized a four-year contract extension through what would be his salary arbitration years on Monday.
