Starling Marte’s Royals Deal Opens $3M Bonus Path

Marte’s Royals contract guarantees $1 million, with incentives that can raise it to $3 million. Jon Heyman reported bonuses at plate-appearance checkpoints from 100 through 450, plus extra payouts for time on the active roster and awards. Kansas City officially signed the 37-year-old last week, hoping the two-time All-Star adds right-handed depth off the bench.
