Kevin Newman: Breaking News

Receives NRI deal with Royals

The Royals signed Newman to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Friday. Newman managed just a .202/.209/.272 batting line in 56 games for the Angels in 2025 before eventually being released. The 32-year-old does still have a steady, versatile glove, but it will be a bad sign for the Royals if he winds up playing a lot in 2026.

Inks MiLB deal with DET

The Tigers signed Newman to a minor-league contract Saturday and assigned him to Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Newman was released by the Angels on Aug. 2, and he's finally found a new home. His time with the Tigers will begin at the Triple-A level. The 31-year-old slashed .202/.209/.272 in 116 plate appearances. However, Newman's calling card is his defense.

Dropped from 40-man roster

The Angels designated Newman for assignment Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. The Angels moved Newman off the 40-man roster in order to create space for newly acquired Oswaldo Peraza, who was traded by the Yankees on Thursday. Newman's season in 2025 has been the worst of his career as he is hitting just above a .200 batting average.
