The Kansas City Royals wasted no time reshaping their bullpen, adding a new left-handed pitcher to their relief corps this morning after trading the electric left arm of Ángel Zerpa to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Isaac Collins and right-hander Nick Mears last weekend.
Returning to Kansas City is Matt Strahm, who was originally drafted by the Royals in the 21st round of the 2012 MLB Draft. Strahm last appeared in a game for Kansas City in 2017, which was followed by stints with the San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, and Philadelphia Phillies.
