The Kansas City Royals have agreed to a restructured contract with Whit Merrifield.
Kansas City exercised its option for next season and the two sides added a mutual option for 2024.
Merrifield, 33, will earn $7 million this season and $2.75 million in 2023, a figure that would escalate by $4 million if he spends 109 days or fewer on the injured list this season.
The mutual option is for $18 million with a $500,000 buyout.
