The Royals have signed Dallas Keuchel, a left-hander with 13 big league seasons, to a minor league contract. Keuchel earns a prorated $2MM salary for any time spent in the majors. He was a standout with a 3.28 ERA during his peak with the Astros and has faced challenges in recent years. After a successful tenure with the White Sox, his performance declined, leading to stops with several teams and a short stint in Japan. Keuchel's most recent appearances included a 5.40 ERA with the Brewers, alongside notable outings in Triple-A.
Keuchel, 37, has pitched in parts of 13 big league seasons and was one of the top lefties in the sport at his peak.
The 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner with the Astros, Keuchel starred for Houston from 2014-18 when he pitched a combined 950 1/3 innings with a 3.28 ERA.
He had a solid partial season with Atlanta in 2019 and signed a three-year pact with the ChiSox spanning the 2020-22 seasons.
Since his career began trending downward with the South Siders, Keuchel has slipped into journeyman status.
