Astros Trade Pearson for Prospect | Houston Astros News

The Astros shipped veteran reliever Nate Pearson to the Royals for pitching prospect Max Martin, a savvy move that sheds an over-the-hill arm while adding future upside. Pearson, with a 3.60 ERA this season and six years of MLB experience, brings immediate bullpen value to a Royals team struggling at 42-60 — and he’s still under team control for one more year. His recent outing was just two weeks ago, and while his career ERA hovers around 4.90, he’s proven he can get outs. For Houston, it’s about rebuilding depth and prospects, while Kansas City grabs a low-risk, high-reward piece to keep fighting. Both teams are making smart, season-saving moves.
