Royals' Ross Ohlendorf: Inks minor league deal with Royals

Ohlendorf signed a minor league contract with the Royals on Thursday, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

The Royals signed a trio of major league vets on Thursday, inking Clint Barmes, Brian Duensing, and Ohlendorf to minor league deals. There's no word yet on whether those contracts include invites to the Royals' major league camp, however. Ohlendorf made 21 relief appearances with the Rangers last season, working a 3.72 ERA with 19 strikeouts and seven walks.
