The Kansas City Royals have re-signed a familiar face and dealt for some new ones.

The Royals have signed Alcides Escobar to a $2.5 million contract for next season, keeping their longtime shortstop on the roster after reaching free agency this offseason.

The Royals acquired right-handers Jesse Hahn and Heath Fillmyer from the Oakland A’s for left-hander Ryan Buchter, designated hitter Brandon Moss and cash considerations. The Royals freed up about $5 million in salary that they could use to sign some of their free agents, including first baseman Eric Hosmer.
