The Kansas City Royals have signed former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract.
The 37-year-old former Bishop Kelley Comet will start in Triple-A Omaha and will earn a prorated $2 million salary if he reaches the big leagues.
Keuchel has not pitched in the big leagues since July 18th, 2024. In four starts with the Milwaukee Brewers last season, Keuchel had a 5.40 ERA in 16 2/3 innings without a decision. In 13 major league seasons, the 2015 American League Cy Young winner is 103-92 with a 4.04 ERA in 282 appearances (267 starts).
After pitching his first seven seasons with the Astros, Keuchel has made appearances for six different teams since 2019. He won a World Series with Houston in 2017 and is a two-time All-Star selection and five-time Gold Glove winner.
