Royals Acquire McGee for Bullpen Depth | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals pulled off a savvy, low-risk move during the All-Star break, acquiring reliever Easton McGee from the Brewers for cash — a smart pickup to bolster their bullpen as they chase depth in the second half. McGee, 28, is out of minor league options and has shown promise with a clean two-inning stint for Milwaukee, striking out one and walking one. With his last year of minor league eligibility ending, he’s a ready-to-play asset for Kansas City, who need bullpen help as they fade from playoff contention. This trade gives the Brewers something back after designating McGee for assignment, while the Royals get a potential innings-eater without long-term commitment.
