The Kansas City Royals and third baseman Maikel Garcia are in agreement on a five-year contract extension, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. The deal reportedly includes a sixth-year club option.
“BREAKING: Third baseman Maikel Garcia and the Kansas City Royals are finalizing a five-year contract extension with a club option for a sixth year, sources tell ESPN. Garcia, 25, won a Gold Glove this year and will remain alongside Bobby Witt Jr. on the left side of the infield,” Passan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The Royals want to build a contending ball club around shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. Cementing their left side of the infield with Witt and Garcia for years to come could be a great move. Kansas City’s roster still has room to improve, but the Royals now have their third baseman of the future.
