It was announced early Friday that the Kansas City Royals struck a deal with the Colorado Rockies. In exchange for catcher Drew Butera, the Royals will be receiving left handed hurler Jerry Vasto. Vasto will begin his career as a Royal with the Omaha Storm Chasers in Triple A.
What the Royals are losing
The Kansas City Royals traded away 35 year old catcher Drew Butera, which follows along with the youth movement trend. This wasn’t really something that was unforeseen.
The Colorado Rockies are still in the hunt for the playoffs.
