Kansas City, Mo. ? The Kansas City Royals announced the signing of veteran outfielder Alex Rios to an $11 million, one-year deal Friday that includes a mutual option for the 2016 season.

Rios, who will take over right field for departed free agent Nori Aoki, will make $9.5 million this season. The deal includes $12.5 million the following year with a $1.5 million buyout.

The 33-year-old Rios should provide more pop to a lineup that lacked home-run hitters last season. He’s part of an offseason spending spree by the AL champs that includes the signing of Kendrys Morales to a $17 million, two-year deal.

The Royals have been so busy this offseason they gave both players No. 15 jerseys when they were introduced.
