KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Kansas City Royals are shaking up their outfield, trading outfielder Michael A. Taylor to the Minnesota Twins.

He appeared in 266 games for the Royals, hitting .249 with 21 home runs, 97 RBI and 107 runs scored.
The Royals received left-handed pitcher Evan Sisk and right-handed pitcher Steven Cruz, in return.
