Padres' Brandon Maurer sent to Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals have acquired pitchers Trevor Cahill, Brandon Maurer, and Ryan Buchter from the San Diego Padres in exchange for pitchers Matt Strahm and Travis Wood and infielder Esteury Ruiz.
Maurer's fantasy value virtually evaporates with the deal as he moves out of the closer's role in San Diego and will serve as a setup man in Kansas City, along with Joakim Soria and Buchter.
Maurer owns a 5.72 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while posting 20 saves and 38 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings pitched this season.
