ROYALS GET YASTRZEMSKI
The Kansas City Royals acquired outfielder Mike Yastrzemski from the San Francisco Giants for pitcher Yunior Marte.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals
Yas is a solid left-handed batter who could form a platoon in right field with fellow recent acquisition Randal Grichuk, at least until rookie Jac Caglianone returns from injury.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
The Giants decided to move on from Yastrzemski partly to give some younger outfielders more playing time. Marte is a 21-year-old right-hander with a promising future in MLB.
Fantasy impact
Marte should now be on the fantasy radar, especially if he becomes a Giant down the road. He was a solid acquisition for San Francisco. Meanwhile, Yastrzemski's days as a near-everyday player could be over. It is time to sell if you can.
