KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A person familiar with the deal says the Kansas City Royals have reached agreement with utility man Adam Frazier on a $4.5 million, one-year contract to provide the club with a left-handed bat and some lineup versatility. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal was pending a physical. It calls for Frazier to make $2 million this season with an $8.5 million mutual option for next season and a $2.5 million buyout. The 32-year-old Fraizer spent last season with the AL East champion Orioles, hitting .240 with career highs of 13 homers and 60 RBIs across 141 games.
