"The Royals have placed right-hander Kyle Wright on outright waivers, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post."
"He's missed each of the past two seasons following shoulder surgery performed in October 2023."
"Assuming he clears, he'll have the right to reject an outright assignment and become a free agent based on his service time (4.151 years)."
Kyle Wright has been placed on outright waivers by the Kansas City Royals. He missed both of the past two seasons after undergoing shoulder surgery in October 2023. If Wright clears waivers, his 4.151 years of major-league service time will allow him to reject an outright assignment and elect free agency. The waiver placement removes him from the 40-man roster and exposes him to claims from other clubs, who would assume his contract and roster status if they claim him. His immediate future hinges on whether another club claims him or whether he clears and opts for free agency.
