The Kansas City Royals are bringing back veteran Adam Frazier, trading fellow infielder Cam Devanney to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange on Wednesday.

Frazier, 33, signed as a free agent with the Royals before the 2024 season and with the Pirates before the 2025 season.

Last season in Kansas City, Frazier hit a career-low .202 with four home runs and 22 RBIs in 104 games.

In 78 games in Pittsburgh this season, he has rebounded with a .255 average, three home runs and 21 RBIs.

Frazier was drafted by the Pirates in the sixth round in 2013 and has a career batting average of .263 with 963 hits and 360 RBIs with Pittsburgh (2016-21, 2025), San Diego Padres (2021), Seattle Mariners (2022), Baltimore Orioles (2023) and Royals. He was an All-Star in 2021.

Devanney, 28, was picked by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 15th round of the 2019 draft. He has yet to make his MLB debut.

In 69 games at Triple-A Omaha this season, Devanney hit .272 with 67 hits, 18 home runs and 55 RBIs.

The Pirates assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.
