This is a series that looks back at their trade history with each team in baseball. So far, we have looked back at trades with the Braves, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Orioles, and White Sox. Today we look at the history of deals with the California/Los Angeles/Anaheim.
Total number of Royals/Angels trades: 17
The Royals have a pretty terrific trade record with their former Western Division rivals, the Angels. After selecting 46-year-old All-Star reliever Hoyt Wilhelm in the expansion draft, they immediately flipped him to the Angels for young Ed Kirkpatrick, who proved to be a valuable catcher and outfielder for years.
