The contract, which also includes performance bonuses, is contingent on Broxton passing a physical exam Wednesday.

The new deal places limits on spending for the draft and international acquisitions. "We really believe that whatever the rules are, we have to adapt to them and be successful within the confines of the structure," Moore said. "That's our mind-set. I think there is still a lot of flexibility in this new agreement for you to be creative." The Royals overhauled their farm system in recent years by making major expenditures in the draft and through their international operations. "It always comes down to the same thing," Moore said.

He's excited despite winning a World Series in 2010 with the Giants and now pitching for the Royals, who haven't made the playoffs since 1985. "It's exciting, you know?" Sanchez said. "It's exciting to make the playoffs, and that's what we want, to be a young team that makes the playoffs." Sanchez struggled most of last season, partly due to a case of biceps tendinitis, going 4-7 with a 4.26 ERA before missing the final month with a left ankle sprain.

"We're still open-minded with that," Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore said. "We'll have to see how the rest of the free-agent market unfolds. You can't discount the innings that Jeff Francis gave us last year." The Royals bolstered their rotation Monday by acquiring lefty Jonathan Sanchez from San Francisco with minor-league pitcher Ryan Verdugo for outfielder Melky Cabrera, but club officials admit they'd like to add another starting pitcher.
