Kansas City Royals — The Royals traded Trevor Rosenthal to the Padres on Saturday. We’ll move Josh Staumont to the top of the Royals’ committee for now based on recent usage and some solid numbers (0.66 ERA, 17.8 K/9) this season.
Updated hierarchy: *Staumont | Barlow | Holland.
* = closer-by-committee
San Diego Padres – The Padres traded for Trevor Rosenthal on Saturday to improve their bullpen. We expect him to close right away, with Emilio Pagan to be the primary setup man.
Updated hierarchy: Rosenthal | Pagan | Stammen.
