Royals Sign Dallas Keuchel To Minor League Deal

The Royals announced Wednesday that they’ve signed left-hander Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract. ESPN’s Jeff Passan notes that Keuchel held a workout for clubs last week, which the Royals attended. He’ll earn a prorated $2MM salary for any time spent on the major league roster.

Keuchel, 37, has pitched in parts of 13 big league seasons and was one of the top lefties in the sport at his peak. The 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner with the Astros, Keuchel starred for Houston from 2014-18 when he pitched a combined 950 1/3 innings with a 3.28 ERA, a 20.2% strikeout rate, a 6.5% walk rate and a mammoth 60% ground-ball rate. He had a solid partial season with Atlanta in 2019 and signed a three-year pact with the ChiSox spanning the 2020-22 seasons. The first year of that contract played out wonderfully, but Keuchel was ineffective in 2021 and pitched poorly enough in 2022 to be released before the contract had concluded.

Since his career began trending downward with the South Siders, Keuchel has slipped into journeyman status. He’s pitched for the White Sox, Rangers, D-backs, Twins and Brewers in the past three years and also had a stint with the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball. Keuchel started four games for the 2024 Brewers and yielded a 5.40 ERA with 11 strikeouts against eight walks in 16 2/3 innings pitched. He also made 13 solid starts for the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma last year.

Kansas City entered the 2025 season with a strong quintet in the rotation. Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, Kris Bubic, Michael Wacha and Michael Lorenzen is a deeper one through five than most clubs can boast, and there were quality depth options like righty Alec Marsh and prospect Noah Cameron. Ragans is now sidelined with a strained rotator cuff that’ll keep him out until at least Aug. 7. Marsh has been on the IL all season due to a shoulder impingement that is taking longer than anticipated to mend.

That’s left the Royals with scant depth beyond the currently healthy group of Lugo, Bubic, Cameron, Wacha and Lorenzen. Cameron has been a godsend on the whole but has looked far more mortal in his past six starts (4.26 ERA in 31 2/3 innings) than he did in his historic first five starts (0.85 ERA in that same sample size of 31 2/3 innings). His performance has been direly needed, especially with several of the organization’s other top young arms either struggling (e.g. Luinder Avila, Ben Kudrna, Steven Zobac) or falling to injury (e.g. Tyson Guerrero).

Keuchel is the second veteran lefty whom the Royals have signed to a minor league pact to serve as depth. He’ll join Rich Hill on an Omaha pitching staff that also includes several journeymen with big league experience: Thomas Hatch, Justin Dunn and John Gant among them.
