(kcroyals) The Kansas City Royals have signed left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough to a one-year deal, worth $3 million.
Yarbrough has spent all of his five-year career with Tampa Bay, serving in both starting and relief roles.
Whether Yarbrough ends up more as a starter or a reliever in 2023 remains to be seen, but regardless of his role, he can be a strike-throwing, low-walk addition to pitching coach Brian Sweeney’s staff. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that new manager Matt Quatraro is familiar with the hurler from his time in Tampa Bay.
