Former Guardians slugger Franmil Reyes and the Royals agreed on a Minor League contract with an invite to big league camp on Wednesday, and Reyes will join position players in Arizona by the time full squad workouts start next week.
The deal has an opt-out at the end of the spring, a source told MLB.com; if Reyes doesn’t make the team, he can sign anywhere else.
Still only 27 years old and under control for two years if he sticks on a big league roster, Reyes struggled in 2022 with the Guardians and Cubs but has had two 30-plus-homer seasons in his career. He mashed 37 dingers in 2019 in stops with San Diego and Cleveland and then hit 30 homers in ’21 for the Guardians with a career-best .846 OPS and 126 wRC+.

1. Hombre BrotaniHe was just so bad last year, and is so limited. But yeah, surprised he couldn't even get a major league minimum deal.
