Vinnie Pasquantino made it clear on social media earlier this offseason that he wasn’t looking forward to the salary arbitration process.<\/p>\n

In the end, the Kansas City Royals<\/a>‘ slugger won’t have to face it. He and the Royals reached a compromise.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Royals and Pasquantino reached agreement on a two-year contract that will avoid arbitration for the next two seasons, according to MLB.com’s Anne Rogers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The contract will pay the big fella more than $11 million guaranteed and up to $16 million with incentives, per Rogers.<\/p>\n

The 28-year old Pasquantino just had his best MLB season.<\/p>\n

He played 160 games, hit 33 doubles, slugged 32 homers, drove in 113 RBI and had a .264 average with a .798 OPS.<\/p>\n

Pasquantino hit 19 homers the year before in his first full time season as a starter.<\/p>\n

He was originally an 11th-round pick by the Royals in the 2019 draft out of Old Dominion.<\/p>\n

The Royals just moved the fences in 10 feet this season, which could lead to even more baseballs launched beyond the fence for Pasquantino.<\/p>\n

He’s a fan favorite in Kansas City, and it’s good for everyone to know that Pasquantino is happy and secure as the new season approaches.<\/p>\n
