The Kansas City Royals have acquired outfielder Franchy Cordero from the San Padres in exchange for pitcher Tim Hill.
Cordero will head to Kansas City after the Padres swapped the 25-year old slugger for left-hander Tim Hill. Expect Cordero to be utilized as a fourth outfielder or a part-time designated hitter.
For the upcoming 60-game season, Cordero's yearly projection includes a .230 batting average with 5 home runs and 15 RBI.
