New York Yankees minor league pitcher Chance Adams has been sent to Kansas City in a trade with the Royals that brings Christian Perez to the Bronx.
Adams played out the 2019 season at Scranton Wilkes/Barre while making his major league debut he went 1-1 with a save and an ERA of 8.53. Adams was a two-time Baseball American minor league all-star. In the trade, the Royals will send Christian Perez, a 21-year-old infielder that hit .252 last year with Class A Wilmington.
The Royals drafted Perez in 2015. The Venezuelan shortstop throws and bats right-handed.  He was activated today with the Tampa Tarpons so that the trade could take place. The Yankees sent him to the minor league Rail Riders. The Yankees may look to use him at some point as a back up to Gleyber Torres at shortstop in addition to Thairo Estrada.
