Overview
- The Royals announced the addition of right-handed reliever Alex Lange on Nov. 21 with no financial details released.
- Lange was designated for assignment last week and released by Detroit, and he logged only one MLB appearance in 2025 after undergoing lat surgery.
- He led the Tigers with 26 saves in 2023 and is known for a power knuckle-curve and mid-90s velocity, though control has been an issue.
- MLB.com reporting indicates the agreement is a one-year deal, which the team has not specified publicly.
- Reports conflict on whether Lange has a remaining minor-league option, leaving his immediate roster assignment uncertain.
