KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Right-hander Brian Bannister and the Kansas City agreed
Wednesday to a one-year contract worth $1,737,500 and avoided a salary
arbitration hearing.
Bannister made was 9-16 with a 5.76 ERA in 32 starts for the Royals last season.
He was third in 2007 AL Rookie of the Year voting after going 12-9 with a 3.87
ERA in 27 starts.
Bannister earned $421,000 last year and asked for $2,025,000 in arbitration
when he exchanged proposed salaries with the Royals last month. The team
offered $1.45 million.
In addition to his salary, Bannister could earn $12,500 if he pitches 200
innings and $25,000 if he is an All-Star.
Kansas City has two players remaining in arbitration: outfielder/infielder Mark
Teahen and first baseman Mike Jacobs.
