Royals Sign Former All-Star Aaron Sanchez to Minor League Deal

The Kansas City Royals have signed veteran right-handed pitcher Aaron Sanchez to a minor league deal. Sanchez, an All-Star in 2016, hasn't pitched in MLB since 2022 but recently won Pitcher of the Year in the Dominican Winter League with a 1.55 ERA. Despite a history of injuries, including blister issues and a torn shoulder capsule, Sanchez showed positive signs with the Giants in 2021. He will receive $1.35 million if he makes the big league roster, with opt-out clauses on April 15 and May 15.
