Closer Carlos Estévez and Kansas City are in agreement on a two-year, $22.2 million contract with a club option, sources told ESPN on Wednesday, adding a veteran reliever to a Royals team hoping to continue its run of success after a surprise postseason appearance last year.
The deal will pay Estévez $10.1 million in each of the first two years, with the club option worth $13 million and a $2 million buyout.
