KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says the Kansas City Royals and outfielder Billy Hamilton have agreed to a $5.25 million contract for next season that includes up to $1 million in incentives.
Hamilton was the everyday center fielder for the Reds last season, but he was not tendered a contract for 2019.
Although a lifetime .236 hitter, he stole at least 50 bases four straight seasons before dipping to 34 last year.
