The Kansas City Royals acquired outfielder Isaac Collins and right-handed reliever Nick Mears from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for left-handed reliever Angel Zerpa, sources reported Saturday night. The deal, which remains unconfirmed by the teams, comes amid the Royals' active offseason pursuit of outfield help. Collins, a 28-year-old switch-hitter, had a breakout 2025 season with the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers signed outfielder Akil Baddoo to a one-year contract on Thursday. Infielder/outfielder Greg Jones also joined the organization on a Minor League deal with an invitation to big league camp. Baddoo brings experience from five seasons with the Detroit Tigers.
