Royals Acquire Domingo Tapia

By Mark Polishuk | May 22, 2021 at 12:04pm CDT

The Royals have acquired right-hander Domingo Tapia from the Mariners, as announced by both teams.  The M’s will receive cash considerations in their end of the deal.  Tapia has been assigned to Kansas City’s Triple-A affiliate.

Signed as an amateur free agent by the Mets in 2009, Tapia finally made his MLB debut last season, tossing 4 1/3 innings for the Red Sox.  Seattle acquired him via waiver claim last October, and Tapia tossed two scoreless innings before the Mariners designated him for assignment earlier this week.

Tapia has a 4.11 ERA over 691 1/3 innings in the minors.  He has only a 17.6% strikeout rate against minor league batters, but Tapia is more of a grounder specialist, regularly topping the 50% threshold for groundball rates during his time in the Mets’ and Reds’ farm systems.  Tapia will likely serve as a big league-ready depth option out of the Royals bullpen.

To create space on the 40-man roster for Tapia, Kansas City transferred righty Jesse Hahn to the 60-day injured list. Hahn, who was placed on the 10-day IL on April 12 with a right shoulder impingement, will now be out of action until at least June 11.

      The Royals are a baseball team in Kansas City, Missouri. Don’t worry. A lot of people haven’t heard of them.

          yeah, the Monarchs are better

          Yes because they have been one of the more successful small market teams in MLB history.

        Yeah, most people haven’t heard about the Kansas City Royals. They played in World Series in back to back seasons within the last 6 years. Oh yeah, they even WON the World Series Title in 2015. That was FIVE whole years ago.

          I recall a time when the Royals posed much more of a threat to the Yanks than did the sox.

          My grandfather took me to The Stadium since before I can remember. Saw Chambliss off Littel. I was 8.

          Anyway.
          Ensured my Yankee fandom for life.

          ensured my hatred for the yanks ever since

        • Ducky Buckin Fent

          1 year ago

          So, yeah.
          That would be the flip side, wouldn’t it.

          Jeeez those were a couple of good ballclubs. Didn’t care for one another either. Was a great rivalry.

        I enjoyed the nonsense in this thread.

        I do think KC has enough to compete, at least most of the year. Really wish they’d stop dumpster diving with pickups like whoever this stiff is.

        Why did you feel the need to post what you did? It’s just as meaningless.

        Lighten up, Francis.

    Why is Alderson sitting on his hands when the Mets CLEARLY need help?
    He has the money backing.
