KANSAS CITY -- The Royals seem to have settled on their right fielder, at least through the next two seasons.
Jeff Francoeur, who is experiencing the bounce-back season that the club had hoped for, signed a two-year contract extension through 2013, the Royals announced on Thursday.
Terms were not disclosed.
Francoeur, 27, is batting .277 with 35 doubles -- the fifth-most in the Majors -- with 15 home runs, three triples, 66 RBIs and a career-high 19 stolen bases. The strong-armed Francoeur also has 12 outfield assists and leads the Majors with a total of 93 since 2005.
After batting just .237 last year with the New York Mets, Francoeur was traded to the Texas Rangers on Aug. 31, 2010, hit .340 in 15 games and played in the World Series with the American League champions.
A free agent after the season, he signed a one-year contract with the Royals for $2.5 million with a mutual option for 2012 at $4 million.
