The Royals have signed utility infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to a one-year contract. "We have been looking for a utility infielder who could play short, third and second base and we feel Yuni is a great fit," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said in a statement. "He brings a right-handed bat with some power and is a guy we know fits in well in the clubhouse." He is a career .268 hitter with 60 homers and 375 RBIs to his credit, spanning seven big league seasons with the Mariners (2005-09), the Royals (2009-10) and Brewers (2011).
