Royals Sign Gonsolin Amid Injury Concerns | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals just added a veteran arm to their rotation—Tony Gonsolin, a former All-Star and World Series champ—on a one-year deal with an option for 2027. But here’s the catch: he’s starting on the injured list after elbow surgery, and his recent injury history—including Tommy John in 2024—means he’s been limited to just seven starts since 2023. Still, with a solid pitch mix and playoff experience, the Royals see him as a potential key piece to fill the void left by injured starters Cole Ragans and Ryan Bergert. They’re banking on Gonsolin returning to his 2022 form—and they’ve got a club option to keep him around if he does.
