KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals announced Sunday right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha agreed to a three-year contract with the club.
The new contract also has a club option for 2028. Financial details of the contract were not released.
Wacha, 33, compiled a 13-8 record in the 2024 season, his first as a member of the Royals.
He made 29 starts and finished with a 3.35 earned run average, according to a Royals news release.
Wacha allowed three earned runs or less in 16 consecutive starts from May 9-Aug. 23.
That effort matched the single-season franchise record set by Bret Saberhagen in 1989, the news release stated.
Wacha is a native of Iowa City, Iowa.
He's pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets, Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox before joining the Royals.
