Royals acquire prospect from Phils, DFA Franmil Reyes
The Kansas City Royals acquired right-handed prospect James McArthur from the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday and designated outfielder Franmil Reyes for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.
The Royals sent minor league outfielder Junior Marin and cash considerations to the Phillies. McArthur, DFA'd by the Phillies last week, will be assigned to Triple-A Omaha.
The 6-foot-7 McArthur, 26, is 9-21 with a 4.36 ERA
