Royals Begin Spring Strong

The Kansas City Royals have started the spring out right as they have a record of 5-2 through the first 7 games. The wins were against the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies and the Los Angels Dodgers. The only 2 losses the Royals have suffered were against the Texas Rangers and the defending World Series champions Chicago Cubs. Obviously there is no correlation between Spring Training success and success in the regular season, but the future looks bright as things currently stand for the Royals.

Royals Sign Travis Wood.

       Wednesday February 15th the Kansas City Royals and 30 year old LHP Travis Wood agree to a 2-year deal with a mutual option for a 3rd year in 2019. In a corresponding move, Royals place LHP Bryan Flynn (stable lumbar vertebral fracture) on 60-day DL.

   
      Wood is expected to compete for a spot on the rotation for the Royals. Last year Wood only pitched 61 innings with a era of 2.95 and a record of 4-0 with the Chicago Cubs.

Braves acquire 2B Brandon Phillips

The Braves acquired 2B Brandon Phillips from the Reds in exchange for minor league pitchers Andrew McKirahan and Carlos Portuondo. Phillips will wear uniform No.4 for the Braves.

Phillips, 35, is signed through the 2017 season. The Atlanta-area native owns a .275 career batting average and stands 137 hits shy of 2,000 career hits, with 334 doubles and 197 home runs over 15 major league seasons.

Hey guys my name is Ryan Smith and I will be writing for the Atlanta Braves.

Royals Get Hammel

Royals and RHP Jason Hammel has agreed on a 2-year $16 million contract with a mutual option for the 3rd year pending physical. Ken Rosenthal has reported but club has not yet confirmed. #RaisedRoyal #RoyalNoah

Royals, Herrera Avoid Arbitration

Royals sign RHP Kelvin Herrera to a 1-year deal to avoid arbitration. He will make $5.325 million and a $50 thousand bonus if he is elected to the all star team. Royals GM Dayton Moore has still never gone to arbitration. #ForeverRoyal #RoyalNoah

Royals acquire Brandon Moss to a 2 year $12 million contract.

This Sunday the Kansas City Royals acquired free agent Brandon Moss to a 2 year $12 million contract. Brandon Moss played for the St. Louis Cardinals last season, his contract then ran out and was not renewed by the Cardinals. Brandon Moss plays 1st base or the outfield, but the Royals will probably put him in the DH roll vs RHP to fill the void for them losing Kendrys Morales. He will also be a good backup for days off for Eric Hosmer.

Colorado Rockies Sign Free Agent Greg Holland to a 1 year $7 million contract

This Wednesday the Colorado Rockies signed former free agent and former closer for the Kansas City Royals Greg Holland to a 1 year $7 million contract. Greg Holland missed all of the 2016  season after having Tommy John surgery. The Kansas City Royals then released him. A big question is how strongly Greg Holland will bounce back from Tommy John. But Spring Training will be a big part of the factor. If he doesn't perform well in Spring Training considering he missed all of the 2016 season, I think they will be quick to jump him down to the Minor Leagues.
