The Royals agreed to a contract with Collins on Monday.

Analysis:

Collins tore his UCL early in spring training 2015 and underwent Tommy John surgery shortly thereafter. Although the 26-year-old southpaw missed the entire season and will likely miss a good portion of the upcoming campaign, he could factor into the Royals' bullpen, once he regains his health. In the wake of the signing, it was revealed that Collins inked a one-year, $1.475 million deal, according to Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com.
