Mears will make his Kansas City debut in 2026 after being acquired from the Brewers in a trade last month. Mears enjoyed his best season last year, appearing in 63 games and pitching to a 3.49 ERA with Milwaukee. He has seen action in parts of six seasons with Pittsburgh, Colorado, and Milwaukee and has a career ERA of 4.61. He is expected to hold down a middle relief role for the Royals in 2026.<\/p>\n
