ROYALS ADD DEPTH CATCHER BUTERA Thursday, May 7, 2015
The Kansas City Royals acquired catcher Drew Butera from the Los Angeles Angels for infielder Ryan Jackson.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals?
This is purely a depth move for both teams, as Butera adds a little of it behind the plate from an organizational standpoint for Kansas City. He's a third stringer at best at this point in his career, though.
What does it give the Los Angeles Angels?
Jackson will provide some organizational infield depth for the Halos, who don't have a lot of it both in Major League Baseball as well as down on the farm. He's not expected to be called up anytime soon.
Fantasy Impact
Neither Butera nor Jackson offers much in the way of fantasy value, so there's really nothing to see here. Move it along.
