Amir Garrett Released by Royals
The Kansas City Royals have placed left-hander Amir Garrett on release waivers after designating him for assignment. Garrett has struggled during his time with the Royals, with control problems and a high walk rate. Once he clears waivers, he will become a free agent and can sign with any team for a prorated portion of the major league minimum salary. Despite his recent struggles, Garrett's past success may attract interest from other clubs on a minor league deal.
