The Kansas City Royals have an excellent starting rotation this season, but re-signing one veteran hurler could prove expensive.
The Kansas City Royals are shattering expectations in 2024, and starting pitching is a huge reason for their success.
One of those four is offseason signee Michael Wacha, who inked a two-year, $32 million deal with Kansas City that included a player option for 2025. With a 12-7 record and 3.34 ERA, Wacha has been a valuable asset to this excellent rotation all season long.said he expects "In the cases of both Wacha and Manaea, they've had really good years," Rosenthal said. "I expect both of those players to get multi-year deals for much more money... and good for them."
Rosenthal also praised the Royals on Monday for increasing payroll in 2024, noting that the team's plan to build a new ballpark to replace Kauffman Stadium was likely part of their motive. But keeping Wacha could still prove difficult in 2025.
