The Kansas City Royals have a solid young core built around Bobby Witt Jr. and their loaded pitching staff. Witt is a superstar with the ability to be one of the best players of the era, but the Royals don’t have much around him at the moment.
Vinnie Pasquantino is one of the few bright spots on the roster, aside from Witt. Pasquantino is coming off a huge year in which he smashed 32 home runs and posted a 2.4 WAR. In arbitration, the Royals and Pasquantino were decently far apart on a deal. After a few weeks, they finally agreed on a two-year deal that will pay him $11 million over the next two seasons, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
