Chance Adams was certainly a hot prospect until the 2018 season. Before that year, he climbed through the minors and was on the fast track to the Bronx, where a bright future awaited. However, everything went south at that point.
After undergoing elbow surgery to remove bone spurs before the 2018 season, his stuff suffered, as did his numbers. In the last two seasons in the major leagues, he had an ugly 8.18 ERA in 33 innings.
He was designated for assignment to make room in the roster for Gerrit Cole, and a few days ago, he was traded to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor leaguer Cristian Perez.
