Justin Maxwell requested $1.7 million and was offered $1.075 million from the Royals when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday. The 30-year-old outfielder will earn a nice raise over the $492,500 that he earned in 2013. An intriguing blend of power and speed, Maxwell may be forced into a platoon role where he will continue to mash against left-handed pitching in 2014.
