Kansas City Royals Trade: Melky Cabrera Returns to Kansas City

The Kansas City Royals continue their push to prove they are all-in. This time, a familiar face is brought back to the Royals family.

Former Chicago White Sox outfielder, Melky Cabrera, was traded to the Kansas City Royals. In the trade the Royals are sending A.J. Puckett, a second round pick in the 2016 draft, and Andre Davis, eighth round pick in the 2015 draft, to the White Sox.

What the Royals are getting?

To put it straight, the Royals are getting a very consistent, switch-hitting veteran bat that has been able to stay healthy, as well as a player that knows the organization after being with the club in 2011.
