Since he opted out, give your thoughts on where you think he may end up, and for how much?

I hear they're getting Price and Greinke too.
Man, the Cubs are going to be stacked next season.

That's what I'm hoping. He really has no reason to leave.

I don't want to see the Cubs do a bunch of stupid ****. They took a super young team to the NLCS. I like their future. A couple of good starters is all their lacking and plate discipline.

With KC for $18mil per.
He just turned down 14million
How long are signing him for 18 mil per year?
Where are you getting your info? I don't see there being a huge market out there for him? Who's a player for him. THE ROYALS GM can say hey. I got a WS. Thats all I need. He can go to a losing team as a veteran presence.

Hes a fool to leave that organization. Drafted by the Royals, been through think and thin, now has back to back WS appearances with one championship and possibly more to come.

He turned down the Royals 1 year deal of around 14million. That's how he became a FA.
I think he's a valuable guy. Prior to last year he was posting high WAR numbers partly due to his unreal play in LF. He's likely the best defensive LF in all of MLB and would be in demand for many teams.
However, he turns 32 this year. I just think that teams are getting more and more prospect centric and it seems against the "Royal way" to sign a 32 year old to a long term deal.

As a Royals fan, I am hoping they let him walk. $80 mil can go a long way towards securing Hosmer, Moose and Perez.
He's 32. Always been injury prone and I'm pretty sure we can live without out #8 hitter. We did for awhile this season.

Yeah. I realize that they are reporting he opted out of his contract. He turned down a guaranteed year at 14 for hopes of a long term deal. Do you give him 20 for 2? Thats 6 million more guaranteed to stay in on a team that won. Thats a win for both IMO. But thats for them to decide. I realize the advance metrics place a high value on his defense. But he's a LF. Some systems value CF and RF more.
