Royals sign the inimitable Chris Young to a two-year deal

After days of rumblings, the Chris Young everyone in Kansas City grew to love over the past year has agreed to terms to return to Kansas City, according to Jon Heyman. The possible terms were first reported by Joel Sherman over the weekend.

#Royals are close to reunion with RHP Chris Young on 2-yr deal. Believed in $10-$11M range. Expected done by end of Meetings

While his profile might leave him exposed in the more homer-friendly confines of a park like Coors Field, Great American Ballpark, or whatever they call Rangers Ballpark now, Young clearly fits in ideally at a park like Kauffman Stadium and with a defense like the Royals', barring a paradigm shift in the way the organization is run.
