KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Kansas City Royals agreed to one-year contracts with second baseman Carlos Febles and outfielder Mark Quinn on Friday.
Febles will receive $750,000 and Quinn will get $500,000 next season.
Quinn returned from a broken right rib May 12 and played in 23 games before injuring his left hamstring while trying to field a ball on June 7. Quinn hit .237 in 76 at-bats.
Febles played in 119 games, hitting .245 and was fourth on the team with 16 stolen bases.
The Royals also announced they did not offer contracts to pitchers Jeff Suppan and Chad Durbin, making them both free agents.
Suppan had the second-most wins on the Royals last season, behind Paul Byrd, who signed with the Braves on Tuesday. Suppan was 9-16 with a 5.32 ERA in 33 starts.
Durbin was 0-1 with an 11.88 ERA in two starts.
