Singer, 28, posted a 3.71 ERA in 32 starts during the 2024 season. It was a resurgent campaign as Singer made strides under Royals pitching coaches Brian Sweeney and Zach Bove. He added two new pitches and remained healthy throughout the year.

India and Singer were college teammates at the University of Florida from 2016-18 and they won the College World Series together in 2017. They were both first-round picks in 2018 as well. The Reds selected India with the No. 3 pick. The Royals took Singer with the No. 18 selection. Now they've been traded for one another.
