The sad thing is that the Royals will still finish last.
Also, this certainly increases Gagnes contract.
I have to agree, sadly, the Royals have little chance of finishing anywhere above last unless a miricle occurs. Too bad. It's nice to see them making some moves that seem to be geared toward long term improvement.
The thing is, Gagne can't get $5 mil right now. Boston won't pay him $5 mil. If Dotel can get $5 mil then how in the heck can't Gagne get it? If I'm a GM, Gagne is 5-6 levels higher than Dotel on the "I'm comfortable with him as my closer" scale.
