I'm sure at one point they were all offered something. KB is probably going to do quite well at Coors.
I see the Cubs are fully in their usual sign scrap heap relievers mode.
He's gonna hit a whole lot of bombs for a team that never makes the playoffs. But I imagine his priorities are different now. He got his ring/ROY/MVP -- his legacy is cemented. Now he got his big payday, he's close to Vegas, and he can be out of the spotlight and focus on his family a bit more. Good for him.

I feel good for him as well as bad for him. I'm glad he got the years, Denver is a great city and CO a great state but man, playing for that owner? I'm sure he had second thoughts just looking at players like Aranado and Story.
Like you said, he's got his WS ring and place in baseball lore, but I had hoped he would go do a good team and see the playoffs from time to time, like I hoped for all of them.
