Vinnie Pasquantino Signs 2-Year Contract with Royals, Team Announced Friday
The Kansas City Royals signed infielder Vinnie Pasquantino to a two-year deal including $11 million in guarantees after his career-best 2025 season with 32 home runs and 113 RBIs.
- On Friday, infielder Vinnie Pasquantino agreed to a two-year contract with the Kansas City Royals through the 2027 season, pending a physical, with $11 million in guarantees, MLB.com and The Athletic reported.
- Facing a second year of salary arbitration, Pasquantino and Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic were the only two Royals who did not agree to terms before the arbitration deadline, prompting the deal.
- Statistically, Pasquantino's 2025 season delivered career highs: 164 hits, 32 home runs, 113 RBIs, 160 games, and he became the eighth Royals player with at least 30 homers and doubles.
- The Royals secured Vinnie Pasquantino under club control through 2028, with J.J. Picollo saying the deal provides stability for the organization and the player.
- Given his production, observers say the Royals should consider a long-term extension after a now-deleted post about moving the fences at Kauffman Stadium for the final five seasons, warning his value could rise.
