The Kansas City Royals acquired right-handed pitcher Easton McGee<\/a> from the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n McGee has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the Royals transferred right-hander Nick Mears to the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n McGee was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the fourth round of the 2016 MLB Draft. The 28-year-old has spent time with the Rays, Seattle Mariners and Brewers before joining the Royals organization.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The right-hander has a 6-foot-7, 222-pound frame that makes his presence known on the mound. While McGee doesn’t have much major league experience, he has spent time in the big leagues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He has logged 26 1\/3 innings since making his MLB debut with Tampa Bay in 2022. Across that span, McGee owns a 3.08 ERA with 17 strikeouts, seven walks and a .219 opponents’ batting average.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So far this season, McGee has appeared in two major league innings for Milwaukee. He has spent most of the year with Triple-A Nashville, where he has logged 41 2\/3 innings with a 5.62 ERA and 43 strikeouts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n McGee features a six-pitch arsenal consisting of a cutter, sinker, curveball, four-seam fastball, sweeper and changeup. His cutter serves as his primary pitch among the six.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat does Easton McGee bring to the Royals?<\/h2>\n
