The Royals announced Monday that minor league righty has been traded to the Brewers. Hes the player to be named later that sent from Milwaukee to K.C. late in spring training. Espinal is just 19 years old, but this is already the second time in his career that hes been traded. He originally signed with the Orioles out of his native Dominican Republic, but Baltimore flipped him to Kansas City in a December 2023 deal that sent right-hander over to the Os. The 19-year-old Espinal has spent his entire pro career pitching in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League. Hes totaled just 73 innings and worked to a 3.95 ERA with 22.7% strikeout rate and 13.7% walk rate. Hes kept the ball on the ground at a 43.8% clip. Espinal wasnt a high-profile prospect when signing as a 16-year-old in Ivica Zubac Jersey 2022 and hasnt appeared among the top-30 prospects for either Baltimore or Kansas City to this point. That sort of return is to be expected, given the nature of the trade. Canha signed as a non-roster invitee with the Brewers and looked like a long shot to make the roster this spring. Milwaukee adding any kind of lottery-ticket arm in exchange for a spring NRI who couldve opted out of his contract if he didnt make the roster is a nice bit of busine s. Of course, it should be mentioned that the Royals likely dont have any buyers remorse. Canha mi sed 10 days with an adductor strain but has started out 7-for-18 with a pair of doubles, two walks and three strikeouts in 21 plate appearances with Kansas CIty. Its a nice start for a typically productive veteran whose offense last year was about league-average and who hasnt posted a below-average offensive output since establishing himself as a big leaguer back in 2018.
