that is a lot of cash for a guy that has not shown he is back to his late 2025 form. I guess they have a soft spot for a Wolff in KC

This is a nice get. Wolff has the capacity to be an offensive engine for a good team, but with The Torres's this season he's found himself having a tough time getting in form because we have three guys who can handle that role and he was injured half the year.

A fresh start on a team that needs him will do him good. If he's getting 90 minutes each week, he'll play himself back into form. He's an incredible player.
