Royals Sign Former Silver Slugger Brandon Drury to Minor League Deal

The Kansas City Royals have signed infielder Brandon Drury to a minor league deal with a spring training invitation. Drury, a 33-year-old former Silver Slugger winner (2022) who hit 28 homers that year, did not play in the big leagues in 2025. After hitting 26 HR in 2023 with the Angels, his performance declined sharply in 2024 (.169 AVG, 4 HR in 97 games). The versatile right-handed bat, capable of playing 1B, 2B, 3B, and some OF, will compete for a reserve infield role.
