Royals Keep Escobar On Board In 2.5 Million Deal
The Kansas City Royals signed Alcides Escobar to a 2.5 million dollar one year contract keeping the longtime shortstop after a free agent market that also saw the club trade Brandon Moss and Ryan Buchter to Oakland. The move aims to buy time for Raul Mondesi Jr. to mature while the Royals pursue a longer term deal for Eric Hosmer. Escobar’s return caps a core that helped Kansas City win the pennant and the World Series as the club rebuilds with depth up the middle and potential outfield replacements.
