Overview
- The non-roster agreement, reported by Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase, includes an invitation to big-league spring training.
- With Bobby Witt Jr., Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino entrenched, Toro is expected to vie for reserve duties alongside Nick Loftin, Tyler Tolbert, Kevin Newman and Connor Kaiser as second base remains unsettled.
- Toro spent 2025 with the Red Sox, was designated for assignment on Aug. 21 and outrighted to Triple-A, then elected free agency in October.
- The switch-hitter owns a .223/.285/.356 career MLB line over 1,582 plate appearances across seven seasons, with experience at second, third and first plus corner outfield.
- Since 2021 in the minors, he has produced a .286/.380/.474 line with a 120 wRC+, and if he makes the Royals, he is out of options and could be retained beyond 2026 via arbitration.
