Moylan Signs With Royals

[rico43]

The Royals added another veteran pitcher to their list of spring training invites, signing right-hander Peter Moylan to a minor-league deal.

Moylan, 37, is a submarine-style reliever who appeared in 22 games last season for the Atlanta Braves, recording a 3.48 ERA in 10 1/3 innings. He had eight strikeouts and zero walks in limited action.

A native of Australia, Moylan returned from a second Tommy John surgery during the 2015 season. He didn’t appear in the big leagues in 2014.

Moylan previously spent seven seasons in the Braves organization, his best season coming in 2009, when he threw a career-high 73 innings while posting a 2.84 ERA.

He is the Royals’ 18th non-roster invitee heading to major-league spring training in February. The list is highlighted by veterans Dillon Gee and Chien-Ming Wang.

Didn't Moylan sign a 2 yr contract with us?

That was a minor league deal. It was negated when he made the bigs faster than expected. I hope he does great; I am going to miss him.

I'll miss him, too. He wasn't great, but I think he has plenty left and he seemed to be a good guy in the clubhouse. I wish him success with the Royals.
