The Kansas City Royals acquired outfielder Mike Yastrzemski and cash considerations from the San Francisco Giants, it was announced Thursday.
Yastrzemski, 34, batted .231 with eight home runs and 28 RBIs in 96 games for the Giants. He had spent his entire seven-year major league career with San Francisco before Thursday's trade.
The grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski is a career .238 hitter with 114 homers and 346 RBIs in 790 games since his debut in 2019.
In exchange, the Royals received minor league right-hander Yunior Marte. The 21-year-old right-hander was pitching a Single-A Columbia this season and was 3-5 with a 2.74 ERA in 19 games, all starts.
