Kansas City Royals Make History with Record-Breaking Contract
In a stunning move, the Kansas City Royals have shattered their reputation for being penny-pinchers by signing Bobby Witt Jr. to the largest contract in franchise history. The once-in-a-generation player has proven himself to be one of the best in baseball and the face of the Royals franchise.
Selected as the second overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, Witt has quickly risen to stardom. Despite only playing two seasons in the MLB, the Royals have shown immense confidence in his abilities by offering him an 11-year, $288.7 million deal.
Witt took to social media to express his gratitude and determination. “I am incredibly grateful to the Sherman family and the Royals front office for believing in me, and I promise to do everything in my power to help bring championship baseball back to Kansas City! Let’s go!!”
At just 24 years old, Witt has already made a significant impact on the game. Last season, he showcased his electrifying skills by hitting 30 home runs, stealing 49 bases, and leading the league in triples with 11. Despite playing for one of the worst teams in baseball, Witt’s performance earned him a seventh-place finish in the MVP voting.
While the Royals still have work to do in building a competitive roster, signing Witt is a promising step forward. He is expected to be the cornerstone of the team, providing a foundation for future success. With his talent and determination, Witt may just be the key to bringing the Royals back to relevancy.
