The Kansas City Royals have traded for speedy outfielder Coco Crisp. The trade happened Wednesday morning between the Royals and Red Sox. The Royals will be sending relief pitcher Ramon Ramirez to the Red Sox in exchange for Crisp.
This is a good trade for the Royals who could really use some more offense and speed in their lineup. If David DeJesus stays with the team through next season, expect him to move over to left field while Crisp takes over in center.
Crisp batted .283 in 118 games with seven home runs, 41 RBIs and 20 stolen bases for the Red Sox last year even thought he split time with Jacoby Ellsbury.
