Third baseman Mike Moustakas is no longer a Royal.
The Royals traded Moustakas to the Milwaukee Brewers late on Friday night.
The Royals received outfielder Brett Phillips, who will join the major-league club as soon as possible, according to team officals, and right-handed pitcher Jorge Lopez in exchange for Moustakas.
Phillips, 24, was hitting .240 with 12 doubles, seven triples and six home runs in 71 games for Class AAA Colorado Springs. Lopez, 25, also spent most of his season at Colorado Springs. He posted a 5.65 ERA in 24 relief appearances, earning five saves in seven opportunities.
