Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Bobby Witt Jr.'s deal with the Royals, as the now-working link above shows, has opt-outs after the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th years of his 11-year contract.
It also includes a three-year club option that can take the total value of the deal to 14 years and $377.7 million.
There are opt outs but by then the Royals would have gotten his top WAR years.
Terms on Witt's extension, per source: $288.7 million over 11 years guaranteed, with a three-year team option that could make it worth $377.7 million over 14 total years.
There are four player opt-outs after years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Witt also receives a $7.7 million signing bonus.

The dream offseason that gets me back is...
A. BWJr. Extension
