[新聞] Swap Mike Minor For Amir Garrett
The Royals add a lefty to the bullpen.

The Royals announced they have traded left-hander Mike Minor and cash
considerations to the Cincinnati Reds for left-handed reliever Amir Garrett.
The 29-year old Garrett pitched five seasons with the Reds with a 5.10 ERA
and 10.5 strikeout-per-nine innings.
Garrett is coming off a poor 2021 season with an ERA of 6.04 in 47 2
innings with 5.5 walks-per-nine innings. But from 2018-2020, he was a solid
bullpen arm with a 3.60 ERA with 175 K in 137 1 innings. Garrett is a
two-pitch pitcher, with a heater that sits in the mid-90s, and one of the
best sliders in baseball. He has been plagued by a high walk rate and high
home run-to-flyball ratio. Garrett is in his second year of arbitration with
MLB Trade Rumors projecting a $2.2 million salary for him in 2022. Garrett
went to high school in the Las Vegas area and played baseball and basketball
at St. John’s, averaging 6.2 points per game in 2011-2013.
Minor posted a 5.05 ERA in 158 2 innings for the Royals last year after
signing a two-year deal. The 34-year old was scheduled to make $10 million in
2022, and the Royals are sending some unspecified cash to the Reds to cover
his salary.
The Royals needed some bullpen depth, particularly from the left side, and
they may be buying low on Garrett in the hopes he can regain his command
enough to miss bats. The trade of Minor may be a signal the Royals feel very
good about their young starting pitching depth, with a rotation that will
likely have Brad Keller and Brady Singer, with other rotation candidates like
Daniel Lynch, Jackson Kowar, Carlos Hernández, Kris Bubic, as well as
veterans Brad Peacock and Daniel Mengden. The move also frees up some cash to
address needs, whether that means adding another starter, more bullpen help,
or possibly even an upgrade for the outfield.
