Per Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com, former Phillie Maikel Franco has agreed to a deal with the Kansas City Royals. The contract is for one-year, 2.95 million dollars with 1.05 million in performance incentives.
It was reported earlier that multiple teams were interested in the former Phillies third baseman. Before Anthony Rendon signed with the Los Angeles Angels, the Nationals and Rangers were two teams that considered Franco to be a viable option if they missed out on signing the top position player on the market.
