US EditionKansas City Royals Grab LHP Bailey Falter From Pittsburgh Pirates
JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI, JUL 31 – Pirates trade Falter, who posted a 7-5 record and 3.73 ERA in 2025, to Royals for prospects Sisk and Moss as part of a multi-player rebuild strategy.
- Ahead of Thursday’s MLB trade deadline, the Kansas City Royals bolstered their starting rotation by obtaining left-handed starter Bailey Falter in a deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- The trade occurred as the Royals sought to replace injured starter Kris Bubic and strengthen their rotation for a late-season run.
- The Royals acquired pitcher Bailey Falter from Pittsburgh, sending two minor league players—a left-handed reliever and an infielder who plays at first base—to the Pirates; Falter will join Kansas City's roster right away.
- Falter, 28, made 22 starts this season with a 7-5 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.182 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts while pitching 113.1 innings for Pittsburgh.
- The acquisition adds a controllable lefty to Kansas City's rotation as they enter August with a 54-55 record, three games out of a Wild Card spot.
