Royals in talk for Brady Singer Jonathan India trade

The Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals want to wheel and deal during the MLB offseason. A deal isn’t imminent, but the two clubs are working on a possible trade involving Reds second baseman Jonathan India and Royals righty starter Brady Singer, per C. Trent Rosencrans and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The two were teammates at the University of Florida and former first-round picks, India selected at No. 5 and Singer at No. 18.

The Royals are also considering trading LHP Kris Bubic and RHP Alec Marsh in exchange for a hitter. However, most contending teams are pursuing Singer, especially since, like India, he is under club control for two more seasons. Singer is approximated to earn $8.5 million in arbitration in 2025.
