North Shore Nine

The Pirates kicked off trade season by sending Adam Frazier to the Royals in exchange for 28-year-old shortstop Cam Devanney. On this emergency episode of North Shore Nine, Jim and Tyler break down the move from every angle—Devanney’s power surge in AAA, his slick glove at shortstop, and whether the hit tool will ever be good enough to matter. Is this just a Quad-A flyer? Or a potential IKF replacement with some pop? We also touch on Frazier’s surprising run in Pittsburgh and what this deal signals about the Pirates’ upcoming moves at the deadline.
