Royals Acquire Hoffman for Bullpen | Kansas City Royals News
Description
The Royals pulled off a last-minute trade before the deadline, snagging right-hander Nolan Hoffman from the Phillies in exchange for young prospect Manuel Colon. With their bullpen struggling and injuries mounting, this move adds much-needed depth — Hoffman, 29, was recently DFA’d by Philly but brings strikeout upside (40 Ks in 34⅓ IP) after a solid Triple-A season. He joins Carlos Duran as a new reliever ready to impact Kauffman Stadium. The Phillies now get to develop Colon, a 19-year-old international free agent who pitched in rookie ball and Single-A.
