Lands four-year extension
Dozier and the Royals are expected to finalize a four-year contract extension Sunday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact
According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the deal is worth $25 million and also has a $10 million team option for 2026. It buys out the 29-year-old's final three years of arbitration and one year of free agency. After missing the start of the 2020 season due to a positive COVID-19 test, Dozier struggled to return to top form during the abbreviated campaign, but he at least continued to display a discerning eye at the plate with a career-high 14.6 percent walk rate. Over the past two seasons, Dozier has been a well above-average offensive contributor, slashing .267/.347/.492 (119 wRC+) in 772 plate appearances.

Moving back to third base
Dozier is expected to move back to third base for the 2021 season, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
Impact
The Royals just bolstered their lineup by signing Carlos Santana to a two-year, $17 million deal, and that means he will be the everyday first baseman going forward. This leaves the hot corner for Dozier, who played 28 games at first base, 20 games in the outfield and one game at third base in 2020. Dozier came up as a third baseman, so he should be able handle the move, although he projects as a below-average defender there.

Under contract for '21
The Royals and Dozier agreed Wednesday on a one-year, $2.72 million contract, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Dozier's deal also includes additional money in incentives, most likely performance-related. After he was sidelined to begin the 2020 season following a positive COVID-19 test, Dozier struggled to recapture his 2019 form upon returning, slashing .228/.344/.392 over 186 plate appearances.

Triples, scores twice in win
Dozier went 2-for-4 with a triple and two runs Wednesday in the Royals' 12-3 win over the Cardinals.
Impact
Dozier rode the wave of the Royals turning in one of their better offensive games of the season, accounting for two of Franchy Cordero's career-high five RBI on the night. After missing time earlier this season following a positive COVID-19 test, Dozier's overall numbers are down from his breakout 2019 campaign, but he's still been a well-above average hitter (.241/.357/.421 slash line in 171 plate appearances, 115 wRC+).
