Top Royals News

  • Royals' Luke Maile: Back with Royals as NRI

    The Royals re-signed Maile to a minor-league contract Thursday with an invitation to spring training.

    Maile got into 25 games with the Royals last season, posting a .702 OPS. Kansas City is expected to carry Carter Jensen on the Opening Day roster along with Salvador Perez, which likely leaves Maile to serve as experienced catching depth at Triple-A Omaha.

  • Royals' Brandon Drury: Gets look from Kansas City

    Drury signed a minor-league contract Wednesday with the Royals that includes an invitation to big-league spring training.

    With parts of 10 seasons of big-league experience on his resume, Drury will be one of the more accomplished non-roster invitees in Royals camp. However, the 33-year-old infielder didn't appear in the majors at any point in 2025, and he struggled to a .214/.338/.323 slash line over 53 games across three minor-league stops in the White Sox and Angels organizations. With that in mind, Drury is likely to face an uphill battle to win a spot on the Royals' Opening Day roster.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Avoids arbitration with Royals

    Pasquantino signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Royals on Friday to avoid arbitration, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Incentives could increase the value of Pasquantino's new deal to as much as $16 million. The 28-year-old first baseman played in all but two games for the Royals in 2025, slashing .264/.323/.475 across 682 plate appearances while tallying career-high totals in home runs (32), RBI (113) and runs scored (72). He will still have one more year of team control remaining at the end of his contract.

  • Royals' Eli Morgan: Gets look from KC

    Morgan signed a minor-league contract, which includes an invitation to spring training, with the Royals on Thursday.

    Morgan had a few strong seasons in Cleveland, but struggled with both injuries and his performance as a member of the Cubs in 2025. If he regains his past form, he could have a path to a spot in the Royals' bullpen to begin the new campaign.

  • Royals' Aaron Sanchez: Lands with Royals as NRI

    The Royals signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Sanchez will make $1.35 million if he's in the majors, and the deal includes opt-outs on April 15 and May 15 as well as an assignment clause. The 33-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022, but several clubs expressed interest in him after he held a 1.55 ERA and 34:9 K:BB over 46.1 innings in the Dominican Winter League. Most likely, Sanchez is headed to Triple-A Omaha to provide rotation depth.

  • Royals' Hector Neris: Latches on with Kansas City

    Neris agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Neris will receive an opportunity to make a big-league roster after putting pen to paper on a deal with Kansas City. He bounced between three teams a season ago, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with a 35:16 K:BB and a pair of blown saves across 26.2 innings.

  • Royals' Angeibel Gomez: Inks deal with Royals

    Gomez signed with the Royals on Thursday for $2.9 million, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports.

    Gomez, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound outfielder from Venezuela, has trended up late in the scouting process, according to Baseball America. His athletic frame oozes projection, and he's already at least a plus runner and a good defender in center field. Gomez has one of the higher ceilings in the class as a potential five-category fantasy producer.
