Done Deal: Kelvin Herrera Traded to Nationals for Three Minor League Prospects
6 years agoRelief Pitcher Kelvin Herrera has been traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Washington Nationals for outfielder Blake Perkins, third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez, and right-handed pitcher Yohanse Morel. Herrera is a free agent at the end of this season and most scouts believe the Royals got a good return for a rental player. Herrera most likely takes a setup role in Washington as they bolster their now very impressive bullpen. It’s still undetermined who will close for the Royals, but Kevin McCarthy, Tim Hill and Brandon Maurer are all potential options.
