Singer lost his arbitration hearing Wednesday and will be paid $2.95 million in 2023, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Singer had requested $3.325 million. The right-hander broke out for the Royals in 2022, holding a 3.23 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 150:35 K:BB over 153.1 innings. He could serve as Kansas City's Opening Day starter in 2023, with veteran Zack Greinke also in the mix.
