Former Kansas City Royals and Baltimore Orioles outfielder David Lough, who turned 30 years old just last week, has been signed to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Lough was the Royals 11th round selection in the 2007 MLB Amateur Draft out of Division II Mercyhurst College in Easton, Pennsylvania. The Akron, Ohio native advanced incrementally through the minors, finally reaching the big leagues with Kansas City for the first time in September of 2012.
In his official rookie year of 2013, Lough had the best of his four seasons in Major League Baseball.
