Actually, the locals are feeling pretty good today. Having had to put up with poor to mediocre teams for so long, the past two years have been a lot more fun, this year in particular. With a small market payroll of only $90 million this year, the Royals ended up in the series whereas the usual powerhouses didn't even make the playoffs.
Hopefully, what we've seen over the past season will convince the ownership to continue to find the money to get the key players for continued success. That's the only way to keep baseball relevant in the KC market.
As for Mr Bumgarner, he is a special pitcher.When his free agency comes up, he'll command enough money on his contract to buy a small state or his own island republic. He surely won't have to eat Top Ramen noodles in the foreseeable future.
