By Steve Adams [November 28, 2014 at 9:47am CST] 9:47am: Frasor’s contract is worth $1.25MM, and his mutual option comes is worth $2MM with a $550K buyout, according to Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star (Twitter links). That makes for a $1.8MM guarantee for Frasor, who can earn an additional $500K in performance bonuses each season, per McCullough. 9:34am: The Royals announced that they have re-signed right-hander Jason Frasor to a one-year deal with a mutual option for the 2016 season. Frasor is a client of agent Dave Meier. Frasor, 37, was acquired by the Royals in a mid-July swap that sent minor league righty Spencer Patton to the Rangers. The veteran Frasor was excellent for the Royals in both the regular season and the postseason, allowing a combined four earned runs in 23 innings of work. Frasor doesn’t have the 93 mph heat that he used to, but he did average 91.9 mph on his fastball in 2014. Overall, he posted a solid 2.66 ERA with 8.7 K/9, 3.4 BB/9 and a 46.9 percent ground-ball rate in 47 1/3 regular season innings between the Rangers and Royals. The Royals became notorious for their smothering defense and lights-out bullpen in the playoffs this year, but the relief corps was actually a very top-heavy unit. Behind Greg Holland, Wade Davis and Kelvin Herrera, only Aaron Crow topped 40 innings, and Crow was largely ineffective. Frasor will provide the club with some much-needed depth in the middle innings. 重簽老法，便宜... 順便附一下之前的一筆交易 Royals Acquire Ryan Jackson From Dodgers By Steve Adams [November 26, 2014 at 2:20pm CST] The Dodgers announced that they have traded recently designated infielder Ryan Jackson to the Royals in exchange for cash consideration. The 26-year-old Jackson has just two hits in 25 career plate appearances in the Majors. The Dodgers claimed Jackson off waivers from the Padres, and many speculated that former San Diego GM Josh Byrnes, now working in the Dodgers’ front office, had a hand in that decision. However, the Dodgers opted to designate Jackson for assignment when they acquired right-hander Juan Nicasio — a fellow DFA victim — from the Rockies. A shortstop by trade, Jackson is a career .274/.344/.369 hitter at the Triple-A level. He missed most of the 2014 season recovering from surgery on his right wrist. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 106.1.87.165 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Royals/M.1417190418.A.172.html
