[新聞] Royals Acquire Jamey Carroll

The Royals have acquired infielder Jamey Carroll from the Twins, tweets Phil
Miller of the Star Tribune. Both teams have confirmed the trade and the Twins
will receive a player to be named later or cash.
"I'm excited to go to a team that's been playing really well," Carroll told
reporters including Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioner Press (video link).
"I hope I can go there and contribute in a positive way. It should be pretty
exciting. It's exciting to go and be in this situation."
The Royals, 7.5 games behind the Tigers in the AL Central and 4.5 games out
of the second AL Wild Card spot, have lost a pair of second basemen to injury
this month. Chris Getz was placed on the disabled list August 1 with a left
knee sprain and Miguel Tejada landed on the DL today after suffering a right
calf strain last night. Carroll has split his time between second base and
third base for the Twins this year while posting a slash line of
.230/.284/.262 in 202 plate appearances. Royals manager Ned Yost says Carroll
"is a very solid player" and will play mostly at second, but will see time at
third, tweets Pete Grathoff of the Kansas City Star.
Carroll is in the final season of a two-year, $6.75MM contract he signed with
the Twins in November 2011. The deal includes a 2014 mutual option worth
$2MM. MLBTR's Zach Links detailed recently the 39-year-old needs 401 plate
appearances for the option to vest, so he needs 199 more to reach that mark.
If the option does vest, Carroll can decide to take the guaranteed $2MM and
remain in Kansas City or accept a $250K buyout and test the open market this
offseason.
二壘的補強....不過.他也已經39歲了@@
