Free-agent pitcher Travis Wood has finally found a new home for 2017 after reportedly signing with the Kansas City Royals Monday.
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com broke the news. Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball noted it will be a two-year deal.
Wood spent the last five seasons with the Chicago Cubs, winning a World Series with the team in 2016. He began his career with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010 and was primarily a starting pitcher through the 2014 season.
While Wood had moderate success as a starter, his permanent move to the bullpen in 2015 helped take his performance to another level.
