A person familiar with the negotiations says the Kansas City Royals and outfielder Billy Hamilton have agreed to a $5.25 million contract for next season that includes up to $1 million in incentives.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal was pending a physical.

Hamilton made $4.6 million with the Cincinnati Reds last season, when he was their everyday center fielder. He was not tendered a contract for this season.
