Yeah, no thanks. He has 2 ABs over the last 5 years. No way he'd even have a >.600 OPS.

All teams got a meeting with a set amount of time with him to make their pitch(no pun intended), so the Royals definitely talked to him. Unfortunately it looks like he is looking for teams with Japanese players he knows or cities with a large Japanese contingent and KC doesn't rank highly in either category.

Did JJ not take him to Gojo's?

The ability to get a direct flight to his home country is probably a factor.

Their TV deal alone is worth 330 million a season, in 2022 they had estimated total revenue of 581 million. Also give them credit for having a really high end front office that starts well and spends money on worthy players.

That's why they are so tough, they have the front office and the funds.

Not hard to spend well when you just buy every star player you can. Not a high miss rate there. I would also have signed ohtani or Betts, that doesn’t make me a front office genius. And the deferred payments thing to get around luxury tax is BS.

Big tv deal.
Close to 4 million in attendance with about 50k per game. Just do the math at $100 per ticket to keep it simple.

I just realized that Caglianone went to Plant High School in Tampa. That is arguably the nation's greatest baseball factory as it has produced Wade Boggs, Kyle Tucker and Pete Alonso.
