Royals sign Miguel Tejada to minors contract
Miguel Tejada - SS - Kansas City Royals
Dec. 31, 2012 - 8:05 PM ET

Dave Skretta of the Associated Press reports that the Royals have signed free agent Miguel Tejada.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman adds that it's a minor league deal with a spring training invite. Tejada, 38, did not appear in the majors in 2012 and hit just .239/.270/.326 in 343 plate appearances with the Giants in 2011. He'll have to battle for a spot on Kansas City's Opening Day roster and is doubtful to become fantasy-relevant.
