Royals Trade Thomas and Falter | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals pulled off a savvy trade, sending Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter to the Braves for rising prospect Lucas Braun and lefty Carter Holton. Thomas, a key outfielder who showed flashes this season, was seen saying goodbye to teammates after being pulled from yesterday’s game — his time in Kansas City may be winding down. Falter, once a promising arm, struggled with his ERA and elbow issues, and his stint with the Royals is now officially over. In return, the Royals bolster their pitching depth with Braun — a high-upside righty with elite command — and Holton, a young lefty recovering from Tommy John surgery. This deal signals Kansas City’s potential deadline strategy: trading veterans for future assets as they look ahead.
