Chen Wants To Re-Sign With Royals 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 24, 2013 1:42 pm

Bruce Chen hopes to re-sign with the Kansas City Royals this offseason.


"I'm very grateful for everything they've done for me," he said. "They've really helped me out in my career. I'd be willing to talk to them, but I don't want to be a distraction to what we're trying to get accomplished here."


Chen is 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA in 13 starts since replacing Luis Mendoza in the rotation.


"I'm just trying to help this team win any way I can," he said. "They haven't talked to me (about a new deal), but we have a really good relationship. I've been here for the last five years.


"I love the city, and I love this organization. I really believe in this team, not only this year but what it's going to do for the next five-to-10 years."


Chen, 36, is completing a two-year deal for $9 million and will be a free agent this winter.
