Overview

  • On July 16, the Royals acquired infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for minor league infielder Cam Devanney.
  • Kansas City added Frazier to provide veteran leadership, situational hitting and multi-positional flexibility off the bench as it pursues a wild-card playoff spot.
  • Frazier has a .255/.318/.336 slash line this season over 262 plate appearances and is batting .310 with runners in scoring position.
  • The Pirates, out of contention, traded the 33-year-old veteran to bolster their rebuild focused on prospects Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz.
  • Cam Devanney hit 18 home runs with a .931 OPS at Triple-A Omaha but was blocked at shortstop by Bobby Witt Jr., making him a tradable asset.
