The Royals have had quite a month, adding free agents Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, Chris Stratton, Will Smith, and Hunter Renfroe, spending $105 million. We gathered our writers to react to the flurry of transactions and whether they’ve changed the outlook for the Royals at all.
What is your reaction to the Royals suddenly increasing payroll with a free agent splurge?
Matthew LaMar: I’m extremely pleased with the increase in payroll and free agents acquired. Their approach has been reasonable, their payroll isn’t really that crazy, and they’ve still got flexibility for the future.
