While it looks like the Royals were simply just doing the right thing to reward their World Series MVP, I can only assume they feared that eventually he was going to be pissed off at being so underpaid and it might have led to a NFL-style holdout.
Also risky considering the insane workload they've given Perez, barely any days off behind the plate. He'll be 35 by the time he's 28.
