Does becoming a free agent mean he HAS to go elsewhere or does it mean he can force the Royals to come up with more cash based on his value on the open market?

It'll be hard to imagine Alex as anything other than a Royal.

He can go to the Royals, but I don't see them offering anywhere near the $$$ he will command on the open market.  He'd have to give them a pretty serious home town discount.

It's November. Maybe he's getting cold feet and wants to move somewhere warmer? Maybe he'll move with Erstad?

The Angels sure could use a stud LF! GO BIG RED!!

Heard the Ricketts and the Cubs are going to make a serious run at him.

[Huskerpapa]

Heard the Cubbies want him as their CF.  I predict he will give the Royals a home town discount...

And now we don't have to.  Welcome home, Alex!

Who is the last decent player to play out his career with the same team? Chipper Jones comes to mind. Anyone else? Craig Biggio?, Ripken? Gordon is on his way, but you never know any more.

Is Jeter considered 'decent'?
