The Brewers released catcher Austin Nola, who then signed a one-year deal with the Royals after limited opportunities with Milwaukee due to the addition of Gary Sanchez.

The Kansas City Royals have signed catcher Austin Nola to a major league contract, with the team making room for him by moving pitcher Kris Bubic to the 60-day injured list. Nola, who was previously with the Milwaukee Brewers on a non-roster deal, struggled with the San Diego Padres, but the Royals are giving him a chance to revive his career. With Salvador Pérez and Freddy Fermín already on the 40-man roster, Nola may start in Triple-A Omaha and has the potential for a multi-year stay with the team if he performs well.
