Royals avoided arbitration with RHP Luke Hochevar by agreeing to a one-year, $4.65 million contract.
He can earn an additional $100,000 in performance bonuses. It's a pretty hefty sum for a guy that's posted a 5.39 ERA over 771 career innings, which is why many felt the Royals would consider non-tendering Hochevar. He'll fight for a rotation spot in spring training.
