Of the numerous mid-season free agent signings the Kansas City Royals have made this winter, there's one veteran that stands out above the rest.
While he may not be the only award winner the Royals have brought in this year, former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel is probably the most notable name.
Since signing a minor league deal on July 9, Keuchel has spent his time in Triple-A Omaha. And after a series of injuries to the starting staff, as well as the promotion of fellow veteran signing Rich Hill last month, Keuchel seemed like he had a fairly realistic shot of getting back to the majors this season.
