Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com is reporting that the Kansas City Royals and OF Jose Guillen are close to a three-year deal worth between $11 million and $12 million per year. Guillen batted .290 for the Mariners last season with 23 homers and 99 RBIs.
Last year, the team made a splash by going out and signing SP Gil Meche to a five-year, $55 million contract. The Royals reportedly have $25 million to spend this offseason, making this deal possibly just one of a couple of big signings for that team.
