Jonathan Sanchez: Released by Royals
Sanchez was released by the Royals on Monday, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.
Sanchez hasn't appeared in the majors since 2013, when he allowed 18 earned runs and seven home runs over just five games. He hasn't been remotely productive since 2011, and after his failure to make the Royals' roster, his major league career may well be finished.

Royals' Jonathan Sanchez: Invited to spring training
Sanchez received a spring training invitation from the Royals on Saturday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez hasn't put up a BB/9 below 5.00 since 2010, so his primary goal in camp is to show he's capable of keeping the ball at least close to the strike zone. If he can, there might be a role on the Royals for him. If not, he'll likely go looking for yet another organization to take chance on him.
