The Royals have acquired reliever Albert Abreu<\/strong> from the Rangers for minor league pitcher Yohanse Morel<\/strong>, according to announcements from both clubs. Kansas City will announce additional corresponding moves once Abreu reports to the team in the coming days.<\/p>\n Abreu, 26, spent around two months in Arlington. Texas acquired him from the Yankees in exchange for backstop Jose Trevino<\/strong> in the week leading up to Opening Day. The Rangers had acquired Mitch Garver<\/strong> to join a catching group that also included Jonah Heim<\/strong> and Sam Huff<\/strong>and they felt that freed them to deal from their group behind the plate in hopes of adding a potential long-term bullpen piece.<\/p>\n The acquisition didn’t pan out as the team had hoped, as Abreu struggled mightily over seven appearances. He only allowed three runs in 8 2\/3 innings, but he walked 12 batters and surrendered a pair of homers in that limited time. There’s little chance of Abreu sustaining an acceptable ERA so long as he’s struggling with free passes to that extent, and Texas designated him for assignment on Monday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
