We have long awaited this day. The Royals have finally parted ways with Omar Infante.
The move was expected, with Infante registering just eight plate appearances in June.
In his 149 plate appearances this season, Infante slashed .239/.279/.321 with a 58 wRC+.
Just for funsies, Alcides Escobar .244/.268/.287 with a wRC+.

In a corresponding move, the Royals recalled Brian Flynn, who has a 4.91 ERA in 7.1 IP this season.
The DFA will force the Royals to some pretty legitimate cash, however. Infante was in the third year of a four-year, $30.
