Source: Extension talks between the Royals and Salvador Perez are ongoing, but sides are not close at this point.

 

Austin Jackson makes more sense here than the Indians, but still believe the race will be so tight nobody will need to make desperation spring training trades or provide overpays on fa's.

 

Upton and JD give them plenty of offense. They'll just have to use Gose more often.

I thought the plan was a Gose/Maybin platoon? I doubt Jackson signs to be a platoon player.

Paradox of the day: #Royals MGR Ned Yost is 46 games under .500 in career yet has highest postseason win pct (.710) among active managers.

Source: Dillon Gee has notified the Royals that he will opt out of his deal if not added to 40-man roster during 48-hour window. Gee's opt-out date is today (3/15), with the 48-hour window opening at midnight. Royals reportedly impressed with him so far.

Ross Ohlendorf has opted out of his contract with #Royals. They have 48 hours to add him to roster or grant him outright release.

How dare these people opt out of the Royals organization?

As expected, #Royals have granted Ross Ohlendorf his release. Other reassignments include Brian Flynn to Omaha. Tough break again.

 

Apparently the Tigers are kicking the tires on Kyle Lohse.

 

Who would've thought he'd still be in the league from the first wave of competitive Twins teams that whooped us. I believe him and AJ are the only ones left. Wait is Latroy Hawkins still around?

I was just watching a game the other day where there was a pitch high and tight and the announcers discussed how that used to be just part of the game.

 

Shoeless Joe Jackson: The first two were high and tight, so where do you think the next one's gonna be?

Archie Graham: Well, either low and away, or in my ear.

Shoeless Joe Jackson: He's not gonna wanna load the bases, so look low and away.

Archie Graham: Right.

Shoeless Joe Jackson: But watch out for in your ear.

Antonetti confirmed that Brantley, Chisenhall and Hunter will all open on the DL. Francona said Brantley is resuming hitting program Friday.

 

 

 

Indians moved Bauer to the pen. Anderson and Tomlin will be the 4th and 5th starters.

Cleveland is overrated

Wish the Sox signed Kendrys last season instead of LaRoche.

Thor dropped his hammer on the Royals today. The Royals are now 1-1. f*** you KC! :D

Music to my ears! There's not a narrative in baseball more annoying than "Royals magic".
