Royals Acquire LHP Falter, Padres Relievers at MLB Deadline

News summary

The Kansas City Royals have been active at the MLB trade deadline, addressing key roster needs as they prepare for a late-season push. They acquired left-handed starting pitcher Bailey Falter from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for rookie left-hander Evan Sisk and first base prospect Callan Moss, bolstering their rotation after losing All-Star Kris Bubic to a season-ending injury. Falter, who has posted a 3.73 ERA this season and is under team control through 2029, is expected to provide valuable innings for the Royals. Additionally, the Royals added right-handers Ryan Bergert and Stephen Kolek in a separate trade with the San Diego Padres. On the offensive side, Kansas City acquired slugger Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks and is reportedly considering Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach to improve their lineup, which has struggled despite strong pitching performances. Meanwhile, the New York Yankees are also enhancing their pitching staff by acquiring reliever David Bednar from the Pirates, pending medical and contractual finalization.
