Zack Greinke has decided to remain where his career began for what could be his final season in Major League Baseball.
The veteran right-hander agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Kansas City Royals, according to Bob Fescoe of 610 Sports Radio.
Fescoe noted the Royals will officially announce the deal on Tuesday.
Greinke spent the 2022 campaign with the Royals after signing a one-year, $13 million deal to return to the franchise. In 26 starts, he went 4-9 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 73 strikeouts across 137 innings.
The 39-year-old began his career with the Royals in 2004 and spent his first seven seasons in Kansas City, finishing fourth in Rookie of the Year voting in 2004, winning the Cy Young award in 2009 and also earning an All-Star selection that year.
