KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Free-agent pitcher Bruce Chen is set to re-sign with the Kansas City Royals, agreeing to a $2 million, one-year contract.
The team said Saturday that Chen’s deal is pending a physical.
The 33-year-old lefty led the Royals in wins last season, going 12-7 with a 4.17 ERA in 33 games, including 23 starts. He began the year at Triple-A Omaha and made 10 relief appearances before joining the rotation on May 30.
Chen can earn an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses.
