Witt and Royals agree on an 11-year deal worth about $291 million guaranteed, AP source says
==========
The Kansas City Royals and star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. have agreed to an 11-year contract worth about $291 million guaranteed. The deal includes three years of team options that could drive the value to about $377 million and keep Witt in Kansas City through the 2037 season. Witt's guarantee salary would make it the 16th largest deal in Major League Baseball history and the second-biggest pre-arbitration extension. Witt became the first Royals player to enter the 30-30 club last year, hitting 30 homers and stealing 49 bases. The Royals have spent over $100 million in free agency this offseason. The team plans to hold a news conference to discuss the contract, which is the longest and richest in club history.
