The Astros shipped struggling reliever Nate Pearson to the Royals for promising 22-year-old prospect Max Martin, a minor-league arm with a stellar 2.01 ERA. Pearson, who battled elbow issues and posted a 3.60 ERA in 16 outings for Houston, was DFA’d just days prior. Martin, a tall righty drafted in the 10th round of the 2025 draft, has dominated at High-A with a 1.40 ERA. The trade signals Houston’s ongoing pitching overhaul after a disappointing offseason haul, as they look to rebuild depth with younger talent.
