Kansas City Star reporter Rustin Dodd tweeted the news Wednesday afternoon:
The 32-year-old Hochever is in the last season of a two-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, but could be resigned this winter by general manager Dayton Moore as he recovers from his injury. Hochevar’s Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is likely to depress his free-agent value and the KC Royals will have more information about his progress than any other team since he will use the Royals’ rehab facility in his recovery.
Given the Kansas City Royals clear need for more bullpen depth after a tough year for the relief staff in 2016, such a deal wouldn’t surprise me.
