KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Reliever Jonathan Broxton and the Kansas City Royals have agreed to a one-year contract that guarantees the right-hander $4 million.
The agreement announced Tuesday, which is pending a physical, also includes performance bonuses.
Broxton was limited to 14 games for the Dodgers last season because of elbow trouble. A two-time All-Star, the 27-year-old made $7 million last season as part of an $11 million, two-year deal.
Broxton is to be introduced in Kansas City on Wednesday.
Royals general manager Dayton Moore said he'll be used in a setup role for closer Joakim Soria, solidifying what had been one of the big leagues' youngest bullpens.
