Royals trade Drew Butera, who caught World Series final out, ahead of roster expansion

A day before MLB rosters expand, the Royals made some moves to their major-league club Friday.

The Royals traded backup catcher Drew Butera to Colorado in exchange for left-handed pitcher Jerry Vasto. The team subsequently optioned Vasto to Class AAA Omaha.

The Royals recalled catcher Cam Gallagher to replace Butera on the major-league roster, and they activated outfielder Brian Goodwin from the disabled list.
