The Kansas City Royals and All-Star third baseman Maikel Garcia are finalizing a five-year contract extension with a club option for a sixth year, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garcia’s new pact will be worth a guaranteed $57.5 million but can reach into the $85-million range with the club option and escalators, a source told Anne Rogers of MLB.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The deal will cover four years of arbitration and buys out two years of free agency, according to Passan.<\/p>\n

Garcia slashed .286\/.351\/.449 with 16 homers, 74 RBIs, and 23 stolen bases over 160 games in 2025. He also had a 121 wRC+ with 5.6 fWAR.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old finished in the 98th percentile in outs above average and 79th in arm strength en route to winning his first Gold Glove.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
