Wade Davis Lands Minors Deal With Royals
4 years agoThe Kansas City Royals signed right-handed reliever Wade Davis to a minor league deal on Wednesday. A three-time All-Star, the 35-year-old Davis pitched with the Rockies for the last three years and made just five appearances in the shortened 2020 season. He led the National League in saves (43) and games finished (63) in 2018, recording 15 saves in 50 outings in his last full season in 2019. Davis had an 8.65 ERA in 2019 and a 4.13 ERA in 2018. His last All-Star campaign came in 2017 with the Cubs when he went 4-2 with 32 saves and a 2.30 ERA in 59 outings. He's pitched in the playoffs six times, going 4-0 with eight saves and a 1.80 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 40 innings. Despite his extensive experience and playoff success, Davis is a low-risk move for the Royals who can be ignored in fantasy unless he somehow takes the closing role from Greg Holland.
