The Royals signed pitcher Tony Gonsolin to a contract with a club option for the 2027 season, designating Eli Morgan for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster. Gonsolin, a former All-Star with notable performances, has faced injuries, including Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for the entire 2024 season. He returned in 2025 but struggled with elbow discomfort and did not pitch in 2026. Morgan contributed to the Royals this year with a 5.12 ERA over 16 games.
