The Kansas City Royals make one final move in a very active offseason, acquiring a veteran reliever from the Boston Red Sox.

 

Kansas City acquires right-handed pitcher John Schreiber from Boston, in exchange for prospect David Sandlin.

 

Schreiber is 29 years old, and was one of baseball's best bullpen arms in 2022, pitching 65 games with a 2.22 ERA. He wasn't quite as strong last year, posting a 3.86 ERA, but is under control for three more seasons.

 

Sandlin is a 23-year-old reliever with a strong fastball and splitter, and was an 11th round pick in the 2022 draft. He is projected as a reliever, and could make his MLB debut in 2024.

 

Schreiber will be a reliable middle inning reliever for the Royals in 2024 as they chase an AL Central crown.
