SURPRISE, Ariz. | -- Lefty reliever Tim Collins, who pitched in a club-leading 68 games last season, agreed to terms Friday on a one-year deal with the Royals for $495,725.
Collins, 22, made $414,000 last season when he went 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA. His 68 appearances tied the Royals’ rookie record set in 2003 by Mike MacDougal.The Royals now have 11 unsigned players on their 40-man roster: pitchers Louis Coleman, Danny Duffy, Greg Holland, Vin Mazzaro and Luis Mendoza; catcher Sal Perez; infielders Alcides Escobar, Johnny Giavotella, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas; and outfielder Lorenzo Cain.All 11 have less than three years of major-league service, which means their contract can be renewed at the club’s discretion.The Royals open spring training Tuesday when pitchers and catchers take part in their first official workout. The first full-squad workout is Feb. 25.Read more Royals
