The Kansas City Royals have signed utility player Josh Rojas to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.
Rojas, a seven-year MLB veteran, struggled with the White Sox last season, batting .180 with two home runs in 69 games, but has shown potential in the past. Originally drafted by the Houston Astros, Rojas was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019, and had his best season in 2022 with the Diamondbacks, hitting .269 with nine home runs.
The left-handed hitter has experience playing multiple positions and could provide depth for the Royals, likely to be used mostly though at second base. Rojas will compete for a reserve infield role on the team, his signing could indicate the Royals will not be bringing back utility player Adam Frazier.
