Royals signed RHP Michael Braswell to a minor league contract.
If you’ve heard of Braswell, it’s probably from seeing him at third base on LSU’s College World Series-winning club over the summer. He went undrafted after hitting just .189/.309/.270 as a Senior, but he’s trying his hand at pitching for the first time since making seven relief appearances as a Freshman at South Carolina in 2022. It’s unclear at the moment whether the Royals will develop him as a starter or as a reliever.
