Vinnie Pasquantino Locks In Two-Year Royals Deal, Skips Arbitration

Kansas City and Vinnie Pasquantino agreed to a two-year pact worth more than $11 million, with incentives that could push it close to $16 million, avoiding a 2026 arbitration hearing. The first-time arb player filed at $4.5 million, the Royals at $4 million. The deal covers two of his three arbitration years; he’ll be arb-eligible again in 2028.
