Royals agree with RHP Kyle Wright on $1.8 million 1-year contract to avoid salary arbitration

The Royals and right-hander Kyle Wright agreed to a $1.8 million contract for 2025 on Tuesday to avoid salary arbitration

Avoids arbitration The Royals and Wright avoid arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.8 million contract Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wright will make the same salary in 2025 as he made in 2024 when he missed the season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. The right-hander has been throwing off a mound and hopes to be without restrictions during spring training as he competes for a spot in the Royals' rotation.

Hopes to be 100 percent for spring Wright (shoulder) hopes to be fully healthy for spring training and compete for a spot in the Royals' rotation, Jaylon Thompson of the Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Wright underwent surgery in October of 2023 to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He's now more than a year removed from that operation and in October touched 90 mph during a bullpen session. That's a far cry from the 95.1 mph Wright averaged with his four-seamer during his breakout 2022 campaign when he won 21 games and posted a 3.19 ERA, but the hope is that his velocity will continue to tick up as he further distances himself from surgery. It's no guarantee his stuff will bounce back as he returns from major shoulder surgery, but Wright will be one to keep a close eye on during spring training.

Traded to Kansas City Kansas City acquired Wright (shoulder) from Atlanta on Friday in exchange for Jackson Kowar, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wright has already been ruled out for the entire 2024 season after requiring surgery last month to repair a torn capsule in his right shoulder. He won 21 games in 2022, though, and makes sense as a reclamation project for a Royals team that is hoping to eventually shift out of rebuilding mode.

Out for 2024 Wright will undergo shoulder surgery that would cause him to miss the entire 2024 season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wright landed on the 60-day IL on Friday with a right shoulder strain. Considering he already suffered the same injury earlier this season, he'll go under the knife to address the issue directly. When healthy, Wright wasn't very effective in 2023, posting a 6.97 ERA and 1.84 WHIP alongside a 34:17 K:BB through 31 innings.
