The Royals are closing in on a deal to bolster a bullpen that goes into spring training with several question marks.

While the Royals have not announced the signing, a team source told The Star on Wednesday that they’ve had discussions with former American League All-Star relief pitcher Brad Boxberger and are working towards a contract agreement.

According to Jon Heyman of the MLB Network, Boxberger will receive a one-year deal worth $2.2 million plus another $1 million in incentives. MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan first reported the pending deal.
