The Kansas City Royals signed lefty reliever Tim Collins to a one-year, $1.475 million deal to avoid arbitration, according to Fox Sports reporter Jeffrey Flanagan:
The 26-year-old Collins missed the 2015 season for the KC Royals when he tore his ulnar collateral ligament in spring training. Tim Collins had complied a 12-17 record, and a 3.54 ERA with a 9.4 K/9 in four seasons in a Kansas City Royals uniform before his injury.
Known as “Tiny” Tim Collins due to his diminutive height (5’7″, 170 pounds), Collins throws hard enough to miss bats.
