The Kansas City Royals have agreed to a two-year extension with right-hander Seth Lugo, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

According to a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Royals and Lugo are in the process of finalizing a multi-year extension. He's off the market at the trade deadline, and the Royals have locked in a formidable top of the rotation with Lugo, Cole Ragans, Kris Bubic, and Michael Wacha for 2026.

The 35-year-old made his first All-Star Game and won his first Gold Glove last season, and rumors surfaced of several contenders interested in him ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
