Duffy was a part of the Royals’ pitching staff throughout the team’s successful 2014 and 2015 seasons, and he helped the Royals win the World Series in 2015.

In 2016, Duffy had a great year, establishing career highs in a variety of statistical categories. After the 2016 season, Duffy agreed to a $65 million contract deal with the Royals. In 2021, the Royals sent Duffy to the Dodgers.
