The Royals acquired Melky Cabrera Sunday:
On the eve of the non-waiver trade deadline, Kansas City sent minor-league pitchers A.J. Puckett and Andre Davis to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Cabrera, a free agent at the end of the 2017 season.
The poor play of Alex Gordon and others:
Still, it appears likely the Royals will not view Cabrera as a one-for-one replacement for left fielder Alex Gordon, right fielder Jorge Bonifacio or designated hitter Brandon Moss, but rather an everyday player who could siphon playing time from all three.
Cabrera played well for the Royals in 2011, they flipped him to the Giants, who used him to reach the playoffs before a suspends for PED use. Since then he batted .289/.334/.425, useful but not outstanding.
Davis looks like the better prospect of the two.
