The Kansas City Royals will make a serious push to retain Eric Hosmer this offseason.
They expect competition from big-market clubs, but the Royals could offer more than $100 million to re-sign the first baseman.
Kansas City has a long list of free agents among core players, but have placed importance on Hosmer.
The Royals won the World Series in 2015, but have missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.
