It’s nice to hear that from an owner, but Boras throws a wrench in the “Rays Way”. I would like to see Glass make a Gordon extension the top priority, instead of signing mediocre to poor players to at or above market rate contracts.

you're not going to get a longoria or matt moore deal...

but boras has done deals in the recent past…deals that the royals can definitely afford assuming they give them to the right guys

We will See

Gordon, Hosmer, Moose, Perez, and Duffy are guys that i would say right now to build the team around and try to sign to long term contracts at this moment.
