[新聞] Seth Maness Agree To Minor League Deal
Right-hander Seth Maness has agreed to a minor league contract with the
Royals, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Twitter links).
Maness will earn $1.25MM if he makes the Major League roster, per Goold.
Kansas City was one of at least 16 big league teams to scout the 28-year-old
CAA client last week, and Goold reports that the Royals have maintained
consistent interest in him this offseason.
Maness, of course, is a fascinating case to watch as he tries to work his way
back from an experimental “primary repair” surgery that represents a
potential alternative to Tommy John surgery. Maness suffered ligament damage
in his elbow last summer and underwent the procedure back in mid-August, and
he’s already throwing off a mound. If he’s able to make a full recovery,
the seven-and-a-half-month timeline on this newer procedure would be a marked
improvement over the 12 to 18 month recovery that is common with Tommy John
surgery. Notably, “primary repair” isn’t an option for all players that
are diagnosed with torn ulnar collateral ligaments, as the procedure is
dependent on both the location and extent of the tear. (Those who’ve yet to
read Goold’s excellent look at the surgery from January are highly
encouraged to do so.)
Maness was a fixture in the St. Louis bullpen from 2013-16, racking up 237
1/3 innings with a 3.19 ERA, 5.8 K/9, 1.7 BB/9 and a hefty 59.4 percent
ground-ball rate along the way. Last season, he posted a 3.41 ERA with career
worst K/9 (4.6) and BB/9 (2.3) rates. Following the August operation, the
Cardinals non-tendered Maness, who has three years and 154 days of Major
League service. That fairly limited service time means that if he’s able to
make a recovery, the Royals will control him through the 2019 season via the
arbitration process.
