Royals sign Dallas Keuchel to a minor league deal

The Royals have signed Dallas Keuchel to a minor league deal according to Jeff Passan. Keuchel’s Cy Young season is now a decade ago, though Royals fans remember 2015 for a very different reason.

Former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a minor league contract, sources tell ESPN. Keuchel, 37, held a workout last week and was up to 92 mph. He’ll start at AAA and if he gets to the big leagues would make $2 million prorated.

Now 37, Keuchel has pitched only sparingly at the big league level the past few years.
