Pete Grathoff writes about the financial disparities between the Dodgers and Royals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers signed a 25-year, $8.35 billion deal with Time Warner Cable in 2013, and the team co-owns the network.<\/p>\n

By comparison, the Royals received $45 million in 2024 from their broadcast deal with Bally Sports Kansas City, according to the Kansas City Business Journal.<\/p>\n

Following the 2024 season, the parent company of Bally Sports KC voided its deal with the Royals. Bally Sports rebranded as FanDuel Sports KC and agreed to a restructured deal with the Royals, likely for less money.<\/p>\n

So where does that leave the Royals with Bubic? There is absolutely still interest. One source told me the Mets are very interested. They are definitely in on Framber Valdez, but if he goes elsewhere, it sounds like they\u2019d pivot to Bubic. The Orioles, I\u2019m told, had interest at some point. I don\u2019t know how deep it was, but they\u2019ve also traded for Shane Baz and re-signed Zach Eflin. That\u2019s not to say there wouldn\u2019t be starts for Bubic, but it\u2019s a crowded room there. I\u2019ve heard some rumors about the Braves having interest. I wonder if the Phillies would jump in. They have a lot of uncertainty in their rotation. And I\u2019ve been told the Padres are just sort of hanging on the periphery here.<\/p>\n

My guess, at this point, is that Bubic isn\u2019t traded, but I\u2019m not terribly confident in that. The teams with interest just don\u2019t match up all that well.<\/p>\n
