Fresh off a run to the ALDS, the Kansas City Royals aren't sitting quietly early in the offseason. They have agreed to a three-year deal with a club option for the 2028 season, the Royals announced Sunday. Wacha is guaranteed $51 million for the first three years, with the club option valued at $21 million in 2028, according to ESPN .

A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press the Royals are bringing back right-hander Michael Wacha on a three-year, $51 million contract that includes a club option for the 2028 season.

The pact includes bonuses and an option for the fourth year that would max out the deal at $72 million, a major-league source said.
