Hunter Harvey Traded To The Royals
5 months agoWashington Nationals right-hander Hunter Harvey has been traded to Kansas City Royals for third base prospect Cayden Wallace (oblique). Harvey racked up 26 holds while posting a 4.20 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and a 50:12 K: BB across 45 innings for the Nationals in 2024. The 29-year-old has struggled since the calendar flipped in June, owning an 8.04 ERA over his last 15 2/3 frames. Harvey will be used in high-leverage situations for the Royals and could see some chances with his new team, but he remains mainly an option in leagues that reward for holds. Wallace has been recovering from an oblique strain since May. Before the injury, the 22-year-old slashed .282/.350/.427 with three homers across 140 plate appearances with Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Wallace was the 49th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft and could join the big league roster sometime in 2025.
