Royals Make Move Before Trade Deadline

Royals acquire OF Billy Burns from the Oakland Athletics for Royals OF Brett Eibner. This is a good trade for both teams as Oakland gets some power in Brett Eibner and the Royals get some more speed in Burns. Billy Burns is a good defensive out fielder who can play anywhere in the out field. He will play mainly right field for the Royals and Center every once in a while to give Lorenzo Cain who is coming off the 15-day DL after a hamstring injury a day off. This year Billy is hitting .234, 0 home runs but has 12 RBI's, a OPS of .573 and a total number of 14 stolen bases, which is tied for the most on the Royals along with Jarrod Dyson and Alcides Escobar. Billy is not in the lineup today for the Royals but i'm assuming he will be in the lineup sometime in the next couple days. #ForeverRoyal #RoyalNoah
