Veteran Outfielder Yastrzemski Joins Royals in Deadline Deal

As the 2025 MLB trade deadline passed, several teams made notable moves to strengthen their rosters for the stretch run. The Kansas City Royals acquired veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski from the San Francisco Giants, a move that should help improve the Royals' meager outfield production as they push for a wild card spot.

Elsewhere, the Tampa Bay Rays were active on deadline day, both buying and selling. They acquired reliever Griffin Jax from the Minnesota Twins, parting with one of their top pitching prospects, Taj Bradley, in the process. The Rays are currently 3.5 games out of a playoff spot and seem intent on making a late-season push.

In another deal, the Chicago White Sox received infielder Curtis Mead and two Triple-A pitchers from the Rays in exchange for right-hander Adrian Houser, who had been a pleasant surprise for the White Sox this season.
