This is not a re-run.
The Royals have re-acquired Adam Frazier from the Pirates in exchange for Cam Devanney, according to Fansided reporter Robert Murray. Frazier was hitting .255/.318/.336 with three home runs and seven steals in 78 games for the Pirates. He spent last year with the Royals, hitting .202/.282/.294 in 104 games.
The 33-year-old has been lauded for his clubhouse leadership, and his numbers last year appear to be an aberration. But he still has an OPS+ of 83, not exactly a solution for a team struggling on offense. Frazier does provide positional versatility with the ability to play second base and outfield. If he plays mostly against right-handed pitchers, he could be a decent on-base guy – he has hit .267/.326/.352 so far against them this year.
Devanney was hitting .272/.366/.565 with 18 home runs in Triple-A Omaha, and was called up last week, but did not appear in a game for the Royals. The 28-year-old was acquired from the Brewers after the 2023 season in a trade for reliever Taylor Clarke.
