Bobby Witt Jr.'s Social Media Post After Signing New Deal Will Have Kansas City Royals Fans Jacked Up

On Monday, Kansas City Royals' superstar Bobby Witt Jr. signed a record-breaking 11-year contract extension worth approximately $290 million. Because of opt-outs and other contract nuances, the deal could be as little as seven years and as much as 14, but either way, Witt Jr. is spending the foreseeable future in Kansas City.

The Royals haven't made the playoffs since 2015 but have spent over $100 million this offseason to improve the roster. They've extended Witt and brought in Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, Hunter Renfroe, Adam Frazier, Chris Stratton and Will Smith.

While that alone is enough to give Royals fans optimism, Witt Jr.'s post on social media upon signing his megadeal will have them ready for Opening Day right away.

I am incredibly grateful to the Sherman family and the Royals front office for believing in me, and I promise to do everything in my power to help bring championship baseball back to Kansas City! Let’s go!!
