KANSAS CITY -- Royals general manager Dayton Moore never has had one of his players go to arbitration since he took over the job in 2006.
That impressive streak again will be on the line this year as the Royals now have just one arbitration-eligible player: right-hander Brandon Maurer.
On Friday, both sides are expected to exchange their arbitration figures. The hearings are from Jan. 29-Feb. 17, though teams are free to sign deals before the hearing dates. The Royals have settled with right-hander Nate Karns for $1.375 million and right-hander Kelvin Herrera for $7,937,500, a source told MLB.
