The Kansas City Royals and Florida Marlins have finally reached an agreement that will send Mike Jacobs to the Royals while Leo Nunez will be headed to the Marlins. The Royals wanted a new player at first base and they are hoping that Jacobs will be that solution.
Jacobs hit .299 with 32 home runs for the Marlins in 2008.
I don’t think the Royals gave up much to get Jacobs. Good trade if you ask me!
