KANSAS CITY, Mo. — 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 RBIs. He spent last season with KC 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.

Devanney has played all of his 69 games this season with Triple-A Omaha, where he hit .272 (67-for-246) with 14 doubles, two triples, 18 home runs, 55 RBI, a .366 OBP, a .565 slugging percentage and a .931 OPS.

He came into today ranked first among all Royals full-season minor leaguers in home runs, slugging, OPS and extra-base hits (34), second in total bases (139) and sixth in batting. He was also tied for fifth in the International League in home runs, fifth in slugging and sixth in OPS.

During the 2024 campaign at Omaha, Devanney appeared in 123 games (122 starts) at shortstop, posting a .968 fielding percentage (14 errors in 1060 1/3 innings).

He was one of six players in all of minor league baseball to play at least 1000 innings at shortstop, while his .968 fielding percentage ranked third in MiLB.
