Brady was the first pitcher the Royals took in their infamous 2018 draft, essentially making him the face of the post-championship rebuild on that side of the ball. That plus an imperfect career arc made him one of the most scrutinized players on the roster. That being said, he had three great seasons (2020, 2022, 2024) and the last one counted the most, ultimately leading to him striking out Aaron Judge in the post-season at home.

So long, Brady, and thanks for all the called strikes.

  1. Ngl any trade involving him would’ve hurt a little. I really hope India and the other guy are worth it. Brady was and will continue to be one of my favorite players. Good luck in all your endeavors. 

  2. I found myself being one of his supporters in online discourse because I thought it was bullshit how some fans made judgements about his character because they weren’t happy with his results. Plus, and maybe he’s just good at turning on the charm during interviews, but he always seemed like a pretty good dude when I heard him speak.

  3. I’ve been a Brady fan for a while. Grateful for what he did for the team while here and wishing him the best going forward.

  4. The good was pretty darn good, the bad was pretty darn bad. I’m glad it was mostly good. Hopefully he finds consistent success in Cincinnati and gets a nice payday

  5. Gonna miss you Brady! Good luck with the Reds. All the best, you will always have a place here in Kansas City 💙
