Adam Frazier Latches On With Royals
11 months agoFree-agent veteran infielder Adam Frazier signed a guaranteed one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, according to a source. He'll get $2 million in 2024 and will have an $8.5 million mutual option for the 2025 season that includes a $2.5 million buyout. The 32-year-old veteran will give the rebuilding Royals some veteran leadership on the infield after he slashed .240/.300/.396 with a career-high 13 home runs, 21 doubles, two triples, 60 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 59 runs scored in 141 games with the Baltimore Orioles in 2023. He'll have a much better path to consistent playing time in KC than he did in Baltimore, and he could become the Royals' everyday second baseman over Michael Massey. For fantasy purposes, Frazier lacks power and will reside in a weak lineup, making him nothing more than a middle-infield option in deep mixed or AL-only leagues.
