Reliever Chance Adams has been traded from the New York Yankees to the Kansas City Royals. In return, the Yankees will be receiving infield prospect Christian Perez.
Adams, 25, was at one point a top 100 prospect. But, he hit a wall in AAA and never had much success there. He had a few stints in the major league, but they never went well. His ERA is well over eight in 16 appearances.
The righty from Scottsdale, Arizona and Dallas Baptist University now has an opportunity to get his career going back in the right direction with the Royals.
