(Reuters) ? The Kansas City Royals have agreed to a one-year contract with former Los Angeles Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton, the American League team said Tuesday.
The deal is pending a physical exam of the right-hander, who missed most of the 2011 Major League Baseball season due to bone spurs in his pitching elbow and had arthroscopic surgery in September.
"We are delighted to add someone as talented as Jonathan to our bullpen," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said in a report posted on the team's website.
"He will be used in a setup role to closer Joakim Soria and will help solidify what we feel is a young and talented bullpen."
Broxton, who saved 58 games for the Dodgers in 2009 and 2010 and was an All-Star both seasons, was 1-2 with a 5.68 earned run average in 14 appearances last season.
