Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported further information on the news.
The #Royals say they will stay pat and go into rebuild and will not pursue any marquee free agents now that Eric Hosmer went to #Padres

Morosi reported further information.
Eric Hosmer’s contract will be the largest in #Padres history. Wil Myers used to hold that distinction. Myers started 153 games at first base in 2017 — and appears to be switching positions now. @MLB@MLBNetwork

Morosi continued.
I’m told Eric Hosmer’s annual salary is higher over the first 5 years than the final 3. Scott Boras wanted to structure the deal such that a large majority of the overall guarantee would come before the opt-out.
