Of course, Bonifacio probably couldn't help the Royals. His batting average has dropped all the way down to .392, and his OPS is a measly .887.

It wasn't an issue that he pissed off the Royals. Bonifacio was rumored to be demanding a chance to compete for a full-time job, and after we got Infante, that wasn't going to happen. So, the Royals were afraid he might be a malcontent at UTIL. The Cubs gave him a chance and he won a starting job for them.
Obviously we could have told him he wasn't going anywhere, and tried to figure out a way to give him enough starts this year to keep him happy.
