The Royals announced they have signed infielders Adeiny Hechavarría and Jack Reinheimer to minor league deals and assigned them to Triple-A Omaha. The team is also losing infielder Johan Camargo, who decided to opt out of his deal with the Storm Chasers.
Hechavarría is a nine-year MLB veteran with the Blue Jays, Marlins, Rays, Pirates, Yankees, Mets, and Braves. The Cuban shortstop has been known as a plus defender, but has hit just .253/.291/.351 in 3,288 career MLB plate appearances. The 34-year old last appeared in the big leagues in 2020 and had been playing this season for the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League.
