Lands with White Sox
The White Sox acquired Mayers from the Royals on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Mayers was removed from the Royals' 40-man roster last month after putting up a 6.15 ERA in six games (two starts) this season. He'll head to Triple-A Charlotte for now but could eventually get a shot with the White Sox in the rotation or bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2017
It took six seasons, but Mayers finally became fantasy relevant while working at the back end of the Angels' bullpen. Manager Joe Maddon went to him quite frequently over the course of the season, allowing Mayers to pick up five wins and two saves while striking out 90. The ratios held down his fantasy value, as did the fact that Raisel Iglesias was around all season in dominant fashion. The fact Iglesias re-signed with the club further cements Mayers into a middle-relief role, and he would become a stronger insurance policy if he could keep his homers (1.4 HR/9 career) under control. The expected stats show both his fastball and cutter should have performed better, but a rough May (7.71 ERA, 2.06 WHIP) was tough to overcome. He should have a similar role this season, but you can wait until the reserve rounds to roster him in deeper formats.
