Royals Trade News: Team Acquires Two Prospects from Brewers

Clarke spent two seasons with the Royals, posting a 5.08 ERA over 105 appearances. Given the recent bullpen signings for Kansas City, moving on from Clarke makes a lot of sense.

These are two exciting prospects to get in return, as well. Devanney is 26-years-old and can play shortstop, third and second, giving him a valuable platoon ability. He has 34 home runs over the last two years between AA and AAA and draws walks at a high rate.

Brady, 24, posted a 2.69 ERA in 37 minor league appearances this year, utilizing a stellar slider and sweeper to fool batters and wrack up strikeouts.

This is the exact kind of low-cost, high-upside move the Royals need to make to field a competitive club over the next few seasons.

Overall, I'm impressed with J.J. Picollo and the front office to this point and can't wait to see what more moves are ahead.
