Mike Jacobs to be non-tendered?
Mike Jacobs - DH - Kansas City Royals
Oct. 2, 2009 - 1:30 PM ET
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star doesn't see Mike Jacobs returning to the Royals.
Jacobs was acquired for his 30-home run power, but his .226 batting average with 18 home runs don't come close to justifying his $3.3 million contract. Arbitration eligible, the Royals are going to need to cut costs to be able to bring in new players and maintain a payroll around $70 million. Jacobs has negligible trade value, making him a prime non-tender candidate.
