Pittsburgh ? Eager to get a starting pitcher who can get them deep into games, the Kansas City Royals swung a trade Wednesday for Mark Redman – the second left-handed starter dealt by the Pittsburgh Pirates in as many days.

The Pirates, looking to trim payroll after picking up first baseman Sean Casey and his $8.5 million salary from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, get pitcher Jonah Bayliss and a player to be named from the Royals.

Bayliss, a 25-year-old right-

hander, is expected to fill one of the right-handed relievers’ jobs left open in the Pirates bullpen after they chose to not bring back former closer Jose Mesa, Brian Meadows and Rick White from a 95-loss team. Bayliss made 11 relief appearances with the Royals as a rookie this year, going 0-0 with a 4.63 earned-run average. He pitched recently in the Arizona Fall League and had a 3-0 record and 4.98 ERA in 11 appearances with the Surprise Scorpions.

The Royals will be the sixth team in six seasons for the 31-year-old Redman, who is coming off the worst season of a career that began with the Minnesota Twins in 1999. He was 5-15 with a 4.90 ERA in 30 starts for Pittsburgh.
