Goin’ to Kansas City: Pirates trade Frazier
Associated Pres
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals reacquired veteran utility player Adam Frazier on Wednesday in an All-Star break trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Kansas City sent minor league infielder Cam Devanney to Pittsburgh.
Frazier, 33, has played in 78 games this season split between second base, left field and right field, hitting .255 with 21 RBI. He spent last season with Kansas City after bouncing around the majors following his start with the Pirates and has played every position except catcher and pitcher during his career since debuting in 2016.
Frazier joins the Royals as they are 4 1/2 games back of the American League’s final wild-card spot. They are 12 games behind Detroit for first in the AL Central.
Devanney, 28, has spent this season at Triple-A Omaha and has not yet made his major league debut. He was batting .272 with 18 home runs in 69 games for Omaha after hitting 19 homers for the Storm Chasers in 2024. Devanney has played most often this season at shortstop.
