"The Royals and infielder Abraham Toro have agreed to a minor league deal, reports Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase. The Republik Sports client also receives an invite to big league camp in spring training. It's an early birthday present for Toro, who turns 29 tomorrow. The trilingual Québécois infielder has appeared in the past seven big league seasons as a part-time, multi-positional player."
"His 17.1% strikeout rate is a few ticks better than average but his 6.4% walk rate is on the low side. He has a combined .223/.285/.356 line over that time, which translates to an 81 wRC+, indicating he's been 19% worse than league average. It's possible there's a bit more in the bat, as he's put up more intriguing numbers in the minors."
Abraham Toro signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals and received a spring-training invitation.
