Kansas City, MO (My Sportsbook) - The Kansas City Royals added versatile Willie Bloomquist to the mix on Friday, signing the super utility player to a two-year contract. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not announced. Bloomquist, 31, spent his entire career with the Seattle Mariners, making at least 10 starts at every position with the exception of pitcher and catcher. He is a .263 career hitter with six home runs and 98 RBI in 540 games since breaking into the majors in 2002. "We're excited with the signing of Willie Bloomquist," said Royals general manager Dayton Moore. "He will be a tremendous asset to our team with his leadership and versatility to play second, short and all three outfield positions." Kansas City also re-signed pitcher Kyle Davies to a one-year contract. The 25- year-old Davies went 9-7 with a 4.06 earned run average in 21 starts for the Royals last season. |
