KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Jason Frasor and the Kansas City Royals have agreed to a one-year contract with a 2016 mutual option that guarantees the reliever $1.8 million.

Frasor gets $1.25 million next season under Friday’s deal, down from $1.75 million this year. The 2016 option is for $2 million with a $550,000 buyout.

The 37-year-old right-hander was acquired from Texas in July and went 3-0 with a 1.53 ERA in 23 games for Kansas City. He was also a veteran presence for a young clubhouse as the Royals made the postseason for the first time since 1985 and lost to San Francisco in a seven-game World Series.

Frasor was 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs, earning victories in the Royals’ wild-card win over the A’s and in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series against Baltimore.
