After months seeking a new opportunity with a major league team, former New York Mets star Matt Harvey signed a minor league deal with the rebuilding Kansas City Royals. Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported last week that a deal between the two parties was close.
According to Tuesday’s reports, the pact is worth about a prorated $575,000 if Harvey is in the major leagues, and there are more bonuses to be met, specifically for games started and relief appearances.
The Royals will assign the former Mets hurler and rotation anchor to their alternate training site.
