Hector Neris Signs Minor-League Deal With Royals
Free-agent right-handed reliever Hector Neris signed a minor-league deal with the Kansas City Royals on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the celebrity.land. The deal includes an invitation to MLB spring training. Neris, a 36-year-old veteran, will be going into his 13th big-league campaign in 2026. The Dominican native spent the 2025 season with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, and Houston Astros, posting an elevated 6.75 ERA (5.35 FIP) with a 1.69 WHIP, 35 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 26 2/3 relief innings. He did not have a single save, but he does have plenty of closing experience with 107 career saves with five different teams. For his career, Neris has a 3.47 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 29.4% strikeout rate and 9.2% walk rate. He’ll be battling for an MLB roster spot in spring training and could start the year at Triple-A Omaha if he remains in the organization.
