The Chicago White Sox traded outfielder Melky Cabrera to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday for two prospects.
Chicago received right-hander A.J. Puckett and left-hander Andre Davis from Kansas City. The Royals also received cash considerations in the deal. Cabrera is making $15 million this year and will become a free agent after the season.
Davis is the 13th-ranked player in the Royals' farm system, while Puckett is No. 22, according to MLB.com.
"I will go there [and] try to help the team win games,'' Cabrera said. "They acquired me for a reason. I hope to help them.''
Cabrera, 32, is hitting .295 with 13 home runs and 56 RBIs in 98 games (428 plate appearances). Read more at ESPN.
