The Royals’ roster is unlikely to endure significant overhaul this winter, but general manager Dayton Moore has conceded that the bullpen will demand his attention.
The work begins with an internal option.
The Royals are bringing back incumbent closer Wily Peralta after the two sides re-worked the option year of his contract, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Royals had until Wednesday to act on a $3 million club option. Instead, they will pay Peralta a $2.25 million base salary in 2019 and add on a $7 million mutual option for 2020 that includes a $1 million buyout, according to the report.
