Royals Sign Outfielder Bubba Starling

Right before the 11 PM deadline Monday night, Royals signed their 5th pick Bubba Starling and today the signing was official. Bubba will receive $7.5 million in bonus, spread over three years. Bubba is from Gardner, Kansas and it has been his dream to become a Kansas City Royal. He is also a football star and had to make the decison to either play baseball or football at Nebraska. Hopefully, he will become a name we hear for many years.

There is also a rumor he is a big Tech N9ne fan. Wouldn't it be cool to hear Bubba come out to bat with some Tech N9ne music? I already like the kid! I believe that being 19 its a big decision for him to choose to go to a pro baseball team over going to Nebraska for college and getting that college experience; but at the same time it would be hard to pass up such a great opportunity. Overall, this is a big signing for the Royals and lets hope he is the future.
