The Kansas City Royals finalized a $4.5 million, one-year contract with utilityman Adam Frazier on Tuesday, rounding out a vastly overhauled club by adding a left-handed bat and some versatility to their lineup. Frazier will make $2 million this season as part of a deal that includes an $8.5 million mutual option for 2025 with a $2.5 million buyout. “We needed somebody who provided us versatility given the players we have coming back," Royals general manager J.J. Picollo said.

After signing Adam Frazier, what if a trade isn’t coming?

With the sun preparing to set on January and Spring Training reporting dates inching closer by the day, it feels like we’ve exhausted the conversations about the top free agents still looking for jobs. Where will Cody Bellinger land? What about Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Jorge Soler or Matt Chapman?

The Kansas City Royals look to have added another veteran to their roster ahead of spring training.

The Kansas City Royals and utility man Adam Frazier agreed to a $4.5 million, one-year contract to provide the club with a left-handed bat and some versatility in the lineup, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday. Frazier will make $2 million this season with an $8.5 million mutual option for next season and a $2.5 million buyout, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical. Frazier was an All-Star in 2021, when he began the season with Pittsburgh and was traded to San Diego in July.
