Any guesses on the O/U on when he’ll be traded to East or West Coast team .

Don't the Royals want to build a new stadium/baseball district? They're actually spending $ on FA this off-season. Must be trying to drum up interest.

I was going to mention what Wausau did — you need some star power and proven investment in the team if you're going to seriously go for the new stadium.

That might wind up being a bit of a bargain.

It will be another Stanton situation. See the Marlins . What are they spending it on a bunch of strong 3 to 4 SP that may give them 100 inngs a piece. They just haven’t been able to develop SP. Burbic, Keller, Junis come to mind.

There's a vote in 2 months for a 3/8 cent tax increase to build half of what will be a 2 million dollar stadium. Kissing ass a little/lot here but it probably doesn't hurt.

Take the stadium part out of it simply on a baseball business deal I kind of like it for the Royals. There are opt outs for Witt after 7 or 8 years so if he is a mega star and the Royals can't build a winner he has a way out.
