Royals Make a Big Decision on Former Dodgers All-Star

On Thursday, the Royals opted to exercise their club option on right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin. Kansas City decided to keep the experienced hurler, now entering his eighth season in the big leagues. For a team fresh off of a 69-win campaign, the former Dodgers standout should play a major role in this Royals rotation. Gonsolin Hasn’t Had Success Since Leaving Dodgers When healthy, Gonsolin is a proven difference maker on the mound. During six years with the Dodgers, he recorded a 3.34 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 ratio.
