Eli Morgan Elects Free Agency After Royals DFA
The 30-year-old righty cleared waivers and chose free agency over a Triple-A assignment, opening the door to a new deal.
Kansas City DFA'd right-hander Eli Morgan, who subsequently cleared waivers and elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Omaha. Morgan has nearly five years of service time, giving him that right. He posted a 5.12 ERA in 19.1 big league innings across five stints with the Royals this season, though he owns a 1.40 ERA in 25.2 Triple-A frames. Shoulder and elbow issues dating to 2024 have eroded his command and velocity, but he figures to draw minor league interest from clubs seeking bullpen depth.
