The KC Royals have added another power arm to their organization, hopefully increasing their pitching value even more.

Many fans were likely left wondering what would come next when the Royals announced on Thursday that outfielder Nick Heath was being designated for assignment. Heath had been with the organization since he was drafted in 2016 and had made a name for himself using his speed.

The Royals needed to make room, though, and Heath was apparently the odd man out. Today, the Royals announced that Nick Heath is going to Arizona and in return, Kansas City will receive Eduardo Herrera.
