Greinke officially signed with Kansas City.

On February 4, the Kansas City Royals officially announced that they had signed a one-year contract with Jack Greinke. Greinke will spend another year in Kansas City, his ‘parent’.

Greinke, who agreed to a contract with Kansas City on January 31st, officially signed the contract on the same day. According to New York Post John Heyman, Greinke will earn an annual salary of $8.5 million and can receive up to $7.5 million in incentives.

Greinke pitched 137 innings in 26 starts for Kansas City last year, going 4-9 with a 3.68 ERA. Excluding the shortened season in 2020, Greinke consistently recorded more than 10 wins from the 2008 season to the 2021 season, but only 4 wins last year. 스포츠토토

Greinke, who was born in 1983 and had a 38-year-old season last year, showed a marked decline in his speed and strikeout ability last year. However, his ability to contain runs was still intact and his control was still stable. Kansas City, which is not in a situation where it can challenge the postseason right away, decided to stay with Team Legend for another year.

Greinke was drafted by Kansas City with the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2002 draft, and made his big league debut in 2004. Greinke, who played for Kansas City until 2010, went on to play for the Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and Houston Astros before returning to Kansas City last year.
