In what local scribes are hailing as a huge move for the team’s future, the Royals inked a $28,000,000 deal with reliever Matt Jordan.

Team officials expect Jordan to fill an immediate void on the roster and felt the deal would solidify them as a playoff contender.

In his career Jordan has racked up 48 wins, 51 losses and 145 saves. His lifetime ERA is 3.52 in 687.2 innings over 564 games.
