Just one week after he was designated for assignment, Chance Adams was sent to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for prospect Christian Perez.
After spending five seasons within the New York Yankees‘ organization, the 25-year-old will now attempt to rejuvenate his career in Kansas City.
Unfortunately for Adams, the former No. 2 top prospect hasn’t been able to recreate any of the success he endured during the first three seasons of his professional career. During the 2015 season, the right-hander was selected by the Yankees during the fifth round of the MLB Amateur Draft.
