Veteran starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel is in agreement with the Kansas City Royals on a minor league contract, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The 37-year-old former Cy Young winner held a workout last week and hit 92 miles per hour on the radar gun. He will report to Triple-A. If he makes it back to the majors, he will earn $2 million prorated.
Keuchel started four games for the Milwaukee Brewers last season, where he gave up 10 runs over 16.2 innings pitched - good for a 5.40 ERA. He was designated for assignment following his four starts with the franchise.
Keuchel has bounced around quite a bit in recent years, but the Royals are taking a shot on him in hopes he can find a semblance of prior form.
