3 years agoThe Kansas City Royals signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock to a minor league deal on Monday. Peacock wasn't on a 40-man roster at the end of last year despite briefly pitching for the Boston Red Sox in 2021, so he was able to sign during MLB's lockout. The 34-year-old has spent eight of his 10 major league seasons pitching for the Houston Astros, and he was successful as a starter and reliever from 2016-19, when he had a 3.48 ERA in 320 1/3 innings. Peacock had shoulder surgery in the fall of 2020 and has thrown just 2 1/3 innings since. The righty allowed nine runs in 5 1/3 innings for Boston last year and wasn't much better at Triple-A, posting an 8.00 ERA in 36 innings.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
