The Royals announced they’ve signed reliever Eli Morgan to a minor league deal. The CAA client receives a non-roster invite to big league Spring Training. Morgan had been non-tendered by the Cubs in November.
Morgan returns to the AL Central, where he has spent the majority of his career with Cleveland. He pitched parts of four seasons there, starting 18 games as a rookie before moving to the bullpen. Morgan was a solid middle reliever between 2022-24. He combined for 176 innings of 3.27 ERA ball while striking out more than a quarter of opponents over that stretch. The righty held opponents to a .224/.279/.384 slash line and turned in a sub-2.00 earned run average across 32 appearances in 2024.
More to come.
