KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals agreed with six-time All-Star Zack Greinke on a $13 million contract for this season, reuniting the left-hander with the club that drafted him in the first round two decades ago, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. 

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical, said that Greinke could earn up to $2 million in performance bonuses. The Athletic was first to report that a deal had been reached. 

The 38-year-old Greinke was the sixth overall pick of the Royals in the 2002 draft, and he spent his first six-plus seasons with the club, winning the Cy Young Award during his standout 2009 season.
