SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals signed two-time All-Star Starling Marte on Monday to a $1 million deal for the upcoming season, hoping that the right-handed-batting veteran can provide some help off the bench or against left-handed pitching.

The Royals designated outfielder Dairon Blanco for assignment in a corresponding roster move.
