On the whole, Zerpa’s career has shown durability and a serviceable MLB track record, carrying a career sub-4.00 ERA over 177 innings. His ability to handle a heavy workload and minimize opposing offenses made him a reliable presence in Kansas City’s bullpen.

Brewers GM Matt Arnold said Sunday that the organization is open to utilizing Zerpa as a starting pitcher, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The Royals traded left-handed reliever Angel Zerpa to the Brewers for versatile outfielder Isaac Collins and right-hander Nick Mears.
