Abraham Toro, québécois, has found himself a job for 2026.
The former Boston Red Sox player has signed a minor league contract (with an invitation to the Major League camp) with the Kansas City Royals organization. He is therefore not guaranteed to play in the majors in 2026.

Over the past two seasons (in Oakland in 2024 and Boston in 2025), Toro has had the same track record: a start to the season that exceeded expectations, but a more difficult end to the campaign.
In both cases, he finished the year in the minors.
Abraham Toro's career has been on the move. He played for the Astros, Mariners, and Brewers before signing with the A's, Red Sox, and now the Kansas City Royals.
Toro is known for his ambidextrous bat and defensive versatility. But the Royals still have Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia on the left side of the infield. On the right, Vinnie Pasquantino is at first base.
The club also has options at second base, including Jonathan India.
What the Royals need most is help in the outfield. The Québécois has some experience in the outfield… but in any case, if he makes the club, he'll need to be versatile and not expect to play every day.

- Another who prefers the Mets to the Yankees.
Highly ranked Dominican SS Wandy Asigen has flipped from Yanks to Mets. After NYY severed ties with international scouting director Donny Rowland, Asigen canceled his verbal NYY agreement. Yanks declined to meet new price. Mets reportedly will pay $3.8M @francysromeroFR 1st
