Royals sign former Cy Young winner to minor league deal

KANSAS CITY ROYALS ORGANIZATION, JUL 9 – Dallas Keuchel, 37, joins Royals' Triple-A team to provide pitching depth after Cole Ragans' injury with the Royals competing in a tight AL Central and Wild Card race.

  • On Wednesday, 2025, the Kansas City Royals announced they had inked Dallas Keuchel, a previous Cy Young Award recipient, to a minor league agreement.
  • The Royals made the signing to add veteran pitching depth after ace Cole Ragans suffered a long-term injury and they trail four games for a Wild Card spot.
  • Keuchel, 37, has appeared in parts of 13 MLB seasons with a 103-92 career record and a 4.04 ERA but struggled recently with a 7.59 ERA over 24 starts in four seasons.
  • He last pitched in July 2024 for Milwaukee, appeared in four games, and showed a fastball up to 92 mph during a workout before signing with Kansas City.
  • The Royals consider Keuchel a low-risk signing who is expected to begin the season with their Triple-A Omaha affiliate and could become a valuable option if injuries impact the major league roster as they aim for a playoff berth.
