NEW YORK -- The Royals' rebuild marches on with two more prospects acquired in the Mike Moustakas trade late Friday, both of whom general manager Dayton Moore believes will be a big part of the team's future.
The Royals acquired outfielder Brett Phillips and right-hander Jorge Lopez from the Brewers for Moustakas, whose contract was expiring this year.
Phillips, who is 24 and is ranked as the Royals' No. 8 prospect by MLB Pipeline, was the Brewers' sixth-round Draft pick in 2012.
