Spence, 27, will be battling for a spot in KC&#8217;s bullpen in spring training after posting a bloated 5.10 ERA (5.10 FIP) and 1.44 WHIP with one save, 66 strikeouts, and 26 walks in 84 2\/3 innings over 32 appearances (eight starts) in 2025 in Sacramento. He wasn&#8217;t much better the year before for the A&#8217;s in his major-league debut, going 8-10 with a 4.58 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 126:44 K:BB in 151 1\/3 frames covering 35 appearances (24 starts). With minor-league options remaining, Spence will most likely open the 2026 season at Triple-A Omaha as pitching depth for the Royals.<span class=\"newsByline\">&#8212;<i><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><\/i><\/span><br \/><span class=\"newsSource\">Source: <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Royals\/status\/2022023094538580215\">Kansas City Royals<\/a><\/span>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.rotoballer.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals Acquire Mitch Spence From A&#8217;s Share: Link copied to clipboard!
