Royals acquire Reds’ Cueto in trade
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals are hoping Johnny Cueto can help them win one more playoff game than they did a year ago.
The Royals acquired Cueto in a trade with Cincinnati on Sunday, sending three prospects to the Reds for a legitimate ace for the front of their beleaguered rotation.
Cueto, who is eligible for free agency after the season, had spent his entire career with Cincinnati.
Cincinnati got minor-league left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed in the trade for Cueto, who was one of the top starters on the market.
Cueto won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year.
