Royals Reacquire Adam Frazier from Pirates

The Kansas City Royals have reacquired veteran utility infielder Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for minor league prospect Cam Devanney, marking Frazier's return to Kansas City after playing there last season. Frazier, a 33-year-old with 10 years of MLB experience and a 2021 All-Star nod, provides the Royals with versatility and a left-handed bat as they attempt to strengthen their offense and infield depth amid Michael Massey's injury. The Royals are just outside the final wild card spot and hope Frazier's experience helps their playoff push. Devanney, a 28-year-old yet to make his MLB debut, impressed in Triple-A with a .272 average, 18 home runs, and 55 RBIs this season. The Pirates, currently rebuilding, acquire Devanney as they focus on younger talent. Both teams see the trade as low-risk, with the Royals aiming for immediate roster help and the Pirates seeking long-term upside.
