It’s been a relatively quiet offseason for the KC Royals. Things got a little interesting on Monday afternoon when the club signed infielder Maikel Franco to a one-year deal, though:
Third baseman Maikel Franco and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a one-year, $3 million deal, sources tell ESPN. He is expected to be the everyday third baseman. My man @JesseSanchezMLB had Franco to Royals first.
Laying the foundation for Passan’s report, Sanchez has indicated the deal is worth $2.95 million in salary and up to $1.05M in incentives.
