this was a couple days ago, but good for KC for not letting this one go

bad for KC for being, well, stupid. the royals opted out of a 6 year $66M extension where Sweeny could not leave, for a 5 year $55M extension but he can leave if the Royals finish under .500 in '03 or '04. the Royals are just delaying the inevitable if they cant bring some talent in, and fast.

I like him. Maybe he'll get more attention on a contender though..

Well, they needed to do something. The Royals owner did this to put pressure on the GM really.

I think the owner has a twisted sense of humor and wanted to put more pressure on the GM by making it so that he has to win in a couple years.
