ORIGINAL: Phil Riewer From Twins Daily: The Royals were up to $135 million last year, and they're projected to be at $148 million. Sources told Ken Rosenthal that their break-even point is between $115-120 million, so they will likely be looking to deal some of their key players. They've got a lot of players in that group that are just starting to make some really good money. So, which will they keep and which will they trade? I saw that. The window is closing at lightning speed in KC. They have Infante and Vargas at 8 Million, Soria at 8 Million, Gordon at 16 Million, Cain at 11 million, Wade Davis at 10 million........some tough money to move. That Gordon contract was ridiculous. Matt disagreed and called it a bargain. Gordon has never been that good of a hitter. See Trevor Plouffe. Would you want to pay him $16 million-plus per season? We'll see how it plays out. Gordon is 33 next year.... 2016 Contract details by year 32 $12,000,000 $12,000,000 2017 Contract details by year 33 $16,000,000 $16,000,000 2018 Contract details by year 34 $20,000,000 $20,000,000 2019 Contract details by year 35 $20,000,000 $20,000,000 2020 Contract details by year 36 $23,000,000 $23,000,000 Almost Mauer money in 2020....I would have paid him 12-14 a year
