Kansas City, Oakland Agree to Swap Sunday, July 29th, 2018 According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics. As part of the deal, the Royals swapped 38-year-old 1B Albert Pujols, 22-year-old minor league RHP Sean Reid-Foley and 27-year-old minor league RHP Matt Koch to the Athletics getting 32-year-old LHP Gio Gonzalez in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team. Pujols is batting .272 this season in 80 games with 8 home runs, 40 RBIs and 42 runs scored. He has 82 hits in 301 at-bats. This year Gonzalez has a 6-5 record and a 3.29 ERA. |
