The Royals have signed reliever Drew Storen to a minor league deal, according to reporter Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Terms have not been disclosed and the club has not yet confirmed. Jayson Stark had previously reported that Storen was “on the radar” for the Royals. The 31-year old right-hander was a solid closer for the first six years of his career with the Washington Nationals, sporting a 3.03 ERA with 95 saves and nearly a strikeout per-inning.
He prematurely ended his 2015 season by slamming a locker door in disgust and breaking his thumb.
