Royals reach one-year deal with Getz for $1.05 million
http://t.co/agQxjQPU
Royals second baseman Chris Getz avoided a possible arbitration case with the
Royals by reaching an agreement Friday morning on a one-year deal for $1.05
million.
The agreement beat the 11 p.m. deadline for clubs to offer contracts to
unsigned players under their control and removed the possibility the Royals
might choose to let Getz become a free agent rather than risk an arbitration
hearing.
Getz, 29, gets a slight raise from $967,500 after an injury-plagued season
that limited him to 64 games. The new deal also includes $150,000 in possible
performance bonuses.
The Royals now have just one possible arbitration case: right-handed pitcher
Luke Hochevar, who made $3.51 million last season and projects, under
industry estimates, to make $4.4 million in 2013 through arbitration.
Getz batted a career-high .275 last season but made three trips to the
disabled list because of bruised ribs, a lower leg strain and a broken thumb.
The latter was an Aug. 17 season-ending injury.
The Royals’ roster, as currently constituted, projects a spring battle
between Getz and Johnny Giavotella to be the club’s starting second baseman.
Getz has a .257 career average and a .314 on-base percentage in 371 games
over five seasons. Giavotella, 25, batted .238 last season in 53 games and
was the starter over the season’s closing weeks following Getz’s thumb
injury.
The Royals acquired Getz from the Chicago White Sox in a Nov. 5, 2009 trade
with third baseman Josh Fields for utilityman Mark Teahen. Getz spent time on
the disabled list in 2009 and 2010 because of oblique strains.
