Héctor Neris: Breaking News

Cut by Kansas City

The Royals released Neris on Sunday. Kansas City parted ways with the veteran reliever after informing him that he wouldn't be included in the Opening Day bullpen. Coming off a rough spring training in which he yielded 11 runs (10 earned) on 13 hits and five walks over 6.1 innings, Neris will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal as he heads back to the open market.

Latches on with Kansas City

Neris agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Neris will receive an opportunity to make a big-league roster after putting pen to paper on a deal with Kansas City. He bounced between three teams a season ago, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with a 35:16 K:BB and a pair of blown saves across 26.2 innings.

Opts for free agency

Neris cleared waivers Friday and elected free agency, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Neris gave up seven earned runs over 11.2 innings during his stint with the Astros before being DFA'd by the team Tuesday. Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land, the 36-year-old will now test his value in the open market. A major-league deal may be hard to come by, however, as he currently owns a 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP through 26.2 innings between three different teams.
