Farnsworth's last 7 appearances have all been scoreless, and his ERA is about the same as it was when we got him...

8/23 - 9/7 - 7 games - 7.2 IP - 8 hits - 10 K - 1 BB -

Source: Farnsworth, Royals make deal

With many teams looking for bullpen help, veteran right-hander Kyle Farnsworth landed on his feet on Wednesday.

A source with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN's Steve Phillips that Farnsworth has agreed to a two-year, $9.25 million deal with the Kansas City Royals, pending the results of a physical.

The 32-year-old began last season with the Yankees but was traded at the deadline to the Detroit Tigers in the deal that brought catcher Ivan Rodriguez to the Bronx.

In 10 seasons and for four teams, Farnsworth has posted a 30-48 record with a 4.47 ERA. Primarily used as a set-up man in his career, Farnsworth moved between roles with the Yankees last season but managed a 3.65 ERA in 45 games. He struggled with the Tigers, posting a 6.75 ERA in 16 games.

Farnsworth, Royals near two-year deal
Contract worth $9.25 million contingent on passing physical

By Dick Kaegel / MLB.com

LAS VEGAS -- The Royals are close to completing a deal to sign right-hander Kyle Farnsworth to be a setup reliever, MLB.com has learned.

Farnsworth would help fill a void created when the Royals traded setup right-handers Ramon Ramirez and Leo Nunez.

Farnsworth has agreed to a two-year, $9.25 million contract, ESPN reported Wednesday. The deal will not be completed until Farnsworth passes a physical examination in the next two or three days, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations.

Farnsworth pitched last season for the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, compiling a 2-3 record with one save and a 4.48 ERA.

In his 10-year career with the Cubs, Tigers, Braves and Yankees, his overall record is 30-48, with 27 saves and a 4.47 ERA.

Farnsworth, 32, fills the Royals' need for a power right-hander. He has 738 strikeouts in his 735 career innings.

The Royals had been sifting through right-handed setup possibilities at the Winter Meetings, including Farnsworth, Juan Cruz, Russ Springer and Brandon Lyon.
