One week before the start of MLB's abbreviated 2020 season, the Kansas City Royals and San Diego Padres reportedly have agreed to a trade.
Royals acquired right-handed pitcher Ronald Bolaños and outfielder Franchy Cordero from the Padres in exchange for left-handed pitcher Tim Hill, according to MLB Network's Jon Paul Morosi.
Bolaños, 23, debuted last season and pitched five games with three starts. He posted a 5.95 ERA in 19 2/3 innings, with 19 strikeouts and 12 walks.
Cordero, 25, played in 79 games for the Padres over the past three seasons, though only nine in 2019.
