Royals Sign Catcher Austin Nola, Bolstering Depth

Nola joins Kansas City after being released by Brewers, aims to rebound from challenging season.

The Kansas City Royals signed catcher Austin Nola to a Major League contract, adding depth behind Salvador Perez.
Nola, 34, was released by the Milwaukee Brewers to make room for Gary Sanchez before joining the Royals.
The veteran catcher struggled last season with a .146 batting average, attributed to vision issues from post-concussion symptoms.
Nola has a history of working with Royals' pitchers Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha, enhancing team synergy.
The Royals placed starter Kris Bubic on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move, as he continues rehab from Tommy John surgery.
