Pirates Trade Veteran Infielder Adam Frazier to Royals

The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded veteran infielder Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor league infielder Cam Devanney. Frazier, a former Seattle Mariners second baseman and 2021 All-Star, has a .255 batting average this season with three home runs and 21 RBIs. This trade marks Frazier's return to the Royals, where he played in 2023, and reunites him with a team he hit just .202 for last season. Devanney, 28, has yet to play in the MLB but is performing well in Triple-A with 18 home runs and a .931 OPS. The Pirates, struggling in the NL Central, appear to be making moves ahead of the trade deadline to reshape their roster. Frazier has been a consistent presence in the American League Central during his career, and this trade reflects both teams' efforts to adjust their lineups midseason.
