Former Royals All-Star Left-Hander Kris Bubic Traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers added the left-hander as they try to bolster a pitching staff for a playoff run, while the Royals sent out a former All-Star starter.
- On Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for right-handed prospect Carlos Duran, following their weekend acquisition of Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal.
- A 2025 American League All-Star, Bubic has not pitched since May 14 due to left elbow and shoulder soreness and remains on the 60-day injured list with an expected return in late August or early September.
- In seven seasons with Kansas City, Bubic posted a 22-38 record with a 4.14 ERA across 126 career games, including 89 starts; he struck out 495 batters and walked 216 in 522 innings.
- Currently leading the NL West with a 69-43 record, the Dodgers aim to bolster pitching depth for a third-straight World Series title; Bubic could provide up to 10 starting pitchers down the stretch.
- With a 46-67 record, the Royals are operating as sellers this season in the AL Central; the organization continues to evaluate roster moves as the trade deadline approaches in the coming hours.
