Pino (elbow) signed a one-year contract with the Royals on Monday.

Analysis:

Pino started 11 games for the Twins in 2014, posting a 5.07 ERA and 1.322 WHIP with 50 strikeouts over 60.1 innings. He could find a spot as the Royals' fifth starter, a spot currently unfilled. His 2014 campaign was cut short in late August by a minor UCL strain, but he should be fine for the beginning of the 2015 season.
