Trade Details
ROCKIES REEL IN CATCHER BUTERA Friday, August 31, 2018
The Colorado Rockies acquired catcher Drew Butera from the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Jerry Vasto.
What does it give the Colorado Rockies?
In Butera, the Rockies add a solid receiver and third catcher for their stretch drive and pennant pursuit this season.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals?
In Vasto, the Royals land a left-handed reliever who appeared in an MLB game earlier this season for the first time. He is 26 years old.
Fantasy Impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Butera is a light-hitting, depth catcher and Vasto may make a career out of being a situational left-hander (if he makes it in MLB).
