JONATHAN BROXTON RUMORS
Broxton says Royals hunted him down
Hey, now we know how the Royals jumped ahead of a dozen other teams to land All-Star reliever Jonathan Broxton.
They did it at gunpoint.
OK, that's a slight exaggeration, but there definitely were firearms involved in the Royals' relentless recruiting of the former Dodger closer.

Jonathan Broxton agrees to deal with Royals
Former Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton has agreed to a one-year deal with the Kansas City Royals, contingent on Broxton passing a physical.
