Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and pitcher Seth Lugo took home Rawlings Gold Glove Awards at their respective positions in the American League this season in a ceremony announced Sunday night. It’s the first career Gold Glove for both Witt and Lugo and the first time Kansas City has had a Gold Glove winner since 2021, when left fielder Andrew Benintendi and center fielder Michael A. Taylor won awards at their positions. Witt is just the second Royals shortstop to win the award behind Alcides Escobar in 2015. Only one other Royals pitcher had won a Gold Glove before Lugo and that was Bret Saberhagen in 1989. None of the three St. Louis Cardinals nominees were chosen to receive the Gold Glove.

The Kansas City Royals have signed pitcher Michael Wacha to a three-year contract extension, effective for the 2025 season thru 2027, with an option for 2028. The deal is worth up to $72 million over four years and replaces his existing two-year agreement, which included the player option for the next season. Wacha will earn a base of $51 million over the three guaranteed years, with potential bonuses that could increase his annual earnings.
