Royals Acquire Nate Pearson in Quick Trade | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals just pulled off a quick bullpen upgrade, snagging veteran righty Nate Pearson from the Astros in exchange for minor league pitcher Max Martin. Pearson, 29, was DFA’d by Houston just days ago but brings big league experience — including a 1.00 ERA with the Astros — while Martin, 22, the Royals’ 10th-round draft pick, heads to Houston with a stellar 2.01 ERA. The Royals made room by DFAing outfielder Kameron Misner. This move signals Kansas City’s faith in Pearson’s upside — and we’ll be watching closely to see how both pitchers fare in their new roles.
