MLB Rumors: Mike Minor’s contract with the Kansas City Royals will guarantee him $18 million, per Jeff Passan on Twitter. Jon Heyman says that Minor will get $7 million in 2021, $10 million in 2022, and has a 2023 team option for $13 million with a $1 million buyout.
That’s a little more than I would have guessed for Minor, who signed a 3 year, $28 million deal with the Texas Rangers after the 2017 season, and gave them two very good years before struggling in 2020. Kiley McDaniel at ESPN predicted one year, $8 million in his free agent projections.
