Spencer Turnbull may have opted out of his minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs organization on Thursday, but the former Alabama pitcher wasn’t a free agent for long. Per Turnbull’s transactions log on MLB.com, he signed with the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
The Royals organization assigned Turnbull, who made six starts with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, to their own Triple-A affiliate in Omaha. Upon reporting to the Storm Chasers, Turnbull will officially commence pitching for his third organization of the 2025 season.
Turnbull was signed in May by the Toronto Blue Jays, with whom he has seen his only MLB action of the year. The 32-year-old hurler has a 7.11 ERA in 6.1 frames on a big-league mound this season in three appearances.
