There aren’t too many transactions happening these days, but the Kansas City Royals’ depth chart does look a bit thinner than it did to end the season.
Right-handed pitcher Noah Murdock was a seventh-round draft pick for the Royals in 2019, and he pitched in the Kansas City farm system every year since, except the canceled 2020 minor-league season. He was selected by the Athletics in last year’s Rule 5 Draft, but was returned to Kansas City in May when the A’s designated him for assignment.
For the second offseason in a row, Murdock has left the organization, though the news admittedly flew under our radar at first.
