Barmes is working on re-signing with the Royals on a minor league contract, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

Analysis:

A source reportedly said the deal is likely, so the veteran shortstop could be back in Royal blue despite being released Monday. That being said, he'll likely just act as organizational depth in the Royals organization, with a callup only happening if the Royals middle infield gets hit with injuries.
