Matt Stairs is coming back next season. He reached a verbal agreement with the Royals to play for them in 2006 for $1.35 million—a $150,000 raise. The contract is supposed to be signed today.
I'm thrilled that he'll be in Royal Blue next season. I love his work ethic. He's one of the few veterans we are willing to keep. And he can play the outfield or first base (a position we are always going to need a good back up for since Sweeney is so injury prone).
Stairs loves Kansas City and he wanted to continue playing here. Now I just hope we do something in the off season to improve this team so that he and the fans don't have to endure another 100-loss season.
