The Houston Astros have traded right-handed pitcher Nate Pearson to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for pitching prospect Max Martin. Pearson, a former first-round pick who has a 1-0 record and 3.60 ERA this season, transitioned to the bullpen in 2023 after facing injuries and command issues. The Royals aim to bolster their struggling bullpen, which has the second-worst ERA in MLB. Martin, a minor league reliever, boasts a 6-2 record with a 2.01 ERA across 26 appearances.
