"The Royals crossed another item off their offseason checklist on Wednesday, signing left-handed reliever Jose Mijares to a one-year deal worth $925,000.

The announcement came just one day after the club spent $2 million to re-acquire veteran infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to fill a utility role. And with the 40-man roster now full, it could potentially be the last significant addition of the offseason.

The Royals, along with their other offseason needs, had been searching for another left-handed solution in their bullpen, and Mijares, who spent the last four seasons with the Minnesota Twins, will likely serve as a situational lefty."
