Royals Add Depth With McGee | Kansas City Royals News

Kansas City Royals bolster their pitching depth by acquiring right-hander Easton McGee from Milwaukee for cash, sending him straight to Triple-A Omaha while moving Nick Mears to the 60-day injured list due to a lingering shoulder issue. McGee, 28, had a solid Triple-A stint with a 5.62 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 41 innings, and though he was DFA’d by Milwaukee, he offers immediate MLB-ready experience without costing KC a prospect. With a 38-59 record and a pitching staff ravaged by injuries, the Royals are smartly adding flexibility — McGee can be called up as needed, and his remaining option allows easy movement between levels. For Milwaukee, it’s a clean exit for a player they couldn’t carry. This move signals KC’s active pursuit of upgrades before the trade deadline.
