The Kansas City Royals have strengthened their roster by reacquiring veteran utility player Adam Frazier in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In return, Kansas City sent minor league infielder Cam Devanney to Pittsburgh. Frazier, now 33 years old, has appeared in 78 games this season across multiple positions, hitting .255 with 21 RBIs. He previously played for the Royals last year and has experience at nearly every position except catcher and pitcher since his debut in 2016. Kansas City currently sits 4.5 games behind the final wild-card spot in the American League, with a 12-game deficit to the Detroit Tigers for the top position in the AL Central.
