The Kansas City Royals traded right-handed pitcher Brady Singer to the Cincinnati Reds for infielder Jonathan India and outfielder Joey Wiemer, the teams announced Friday.

Singer, 28, went 9-13 with a 3.71 ERA last season, starting 32 games for the Royals while helping them to an unexpected playoff berth. Overall, he made 127 starts for Kansas City over five years, compiling a 4.28 ERA. His only down season was in 2023, when he had a 5.52 ERA.

India, 27, hit .248 with 15 home runs in 2024 while playing exclusively at second base. A four-year veteran, he has a .764 career OPS after winning Rookie of the Year in 2021, when he hit a career-high 21 home runs.

Wiemer, 25, will be joining his third major league team after breaking in with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023 before playing for Cincinnati last season. He has a career .201 batting average in 153 games.

The deal fills needs on both teams as the Royals have been looking to add offense alongside star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. Their starting staff, which had the second-best ERA in the majors, afforded them the ability to move a rotation arm to fill their need at the plate.

Meanwhile, the Reds add a durable starter to a team that has dealt with injuries in its rotation over the past couple of seasons. Cincinnati finished 16th in starters' ERA last season and had an opening on its staff after the team traded right-hander Frankie Montas to the Brewers last summer. Singer pitched for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic in 2023.
