Ricky Nolasco and the Kansas City Royals reportedly agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year, $1.5 million minor league contract that includes $250,000 in incentives, according to FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman.
Nolasco had a $13 million club option for the 2018 season that the Los Angeles Angels opted against exercising. The decision was not a surprise after Nolasco experienced the worst full season of his MLB career.
The 35-year-old appeared in 33 games, finishing with a 6-15 record and a 5.10 FIP, which was fourth-highest among qualified starters, according to FanGraphs.
