Atlanta traded Gurriel (undisclosed) to the Royals on Saturday in exchange for cash, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
After claiming Tommy Pham and Robbie Grossman off waivers earlier in the day, the Royals continue to add depth to their organization by acquiring Gurriel in a minor-league trade. The 40-year-old first baseman has had a nice season at Triple-A Gwinnett, slashing .292/.378/.485 with 12 homers and 48 RBI across 75 games, though he has been on the injured list since Aug. 23 due to an unspecified injury. Once he recovers, the Royals would need to add him to their 40-man roster before he could potentially make his season debut with Kansas City.
