The Kansas City Royals were on the hunt for some cost effective relief arms. It seems they may have stumbled across an intriguing bargain. Drew Storen underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2017. He’s 31, and the former Washington Nationals closer was a vital piece in their bullpen from the 2010 season until 2015.
After his time with the Nationals, he was with the Blue Jays for half of the 2016 season, and it didn’t go well for him. He was traded in July of that season to the Seattle Mariners before heading to the Cincinnati Reds for the 2017 season.
