Royals Acquire Nate Pearson | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals just pulled off a bullpen upgrade, acquiring right-hander Nate Pearson from the Astros in a move that sends minor league pitcher Max Martin to Houston. At 29, Pearson, who missed early season time on the IL, made his debut May 20 and has since posted a 3.60 ERA in 16 games with one save. Known for his high-90s fastball and sharp slider, he’s a proven big-arm reliever with MLB experience. With the Royals’ pitching staff battered by injuries, Pearson’s arrival could be a game-changer — though his exact timeline remains uncertain, the front office is bullish on his potential to anchor their bullpen.
