KC Royals Add Edward Mujica, Drop Joe Beimel

Neither move is really earth-shattering. Both Beimel and Mujica are nothing more than veteran depth that could help out the Kansas City Royals bullpen in case of emergency. Given the way that the KC Royals have burned through reliever innings this season, it’s not impossible that Mujica could end up in Kansas City at some point in the second half. Mujica’s deal includes an August 7 opt out clause according to SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo.

The right-handed Edward Mujica is a one time All-Star (2012 with the Cardinals), with a career 3.85 ERA mostly as a reliever (he made four starts with the Padres at age 25 in 2009).
