**Royals Reunite with Frazier, Trade Devanney to Pirates**
*Kansas City, MO -* The Kansas City Royals have made a move to bolster their infield and outfield depth, acquiring veteran Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for infielder Cam Devanney. The deal, announced Wednesday, marks a return to Kansas City for Frazier, who played for the Royals in 2024.
Frazier, a versatile player capable of playing second base, left field, and right field, is expected to provide a left-handed bat to the Royals’ predominantly right-handed bench. This season with the Pirates, the 33-year-old is batting .255 with a .754 OPS.
“Adam brings valuable experience and versatility to our roster,” said Royals Manager Matt Quatraro. “His ability to play multiple positions will give us flexibility in the lineup and on the field.”
Devanney, a 28-year-old infielder, was recently added to the Royals’ 40-man roster and promoted to the major league club, but has yet to make his MLB debut. He will now get the opportunity to debut for the Pirates.
Frazier struggled during his previous stint with the Royals, hitting .202 in 2024. However, his recent performance with the Pirates gives the Royals hope that he can be a more productive contributor.
