Mason Black Traded to Kansas City Royals from Giants for Logan Martin

Right-handed pitcher Mason Black was traded by the San Francisco Giants to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday, in exchange for right-hander Logan Martin. Black had recently been designated for assignment by the Giants after struggling in his big-league appearances. This move provides Black with an opportunity to contribute in the American League with the Royals. Martin, a 24-year-old pitching prospect, was a 12th-rounder in 2023 and posted a 3.45 ERA in High-A last season, currently pitching in the Arizona Fall League.
