The Kansas City Royals have traded outfield Michael A. Taylor to the Minnesota Twins for two minor-league pitchers.
The Royals acquired pitchers Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk.
Neither Cruz nor Sisk was added to the 40-man roster. Sisk was assigned to Triple-A Omaha, while Cruz was assigned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas. With the Royals’ roster now at 39 players, a spot opened up for reliever Aroldis Chapman, whose deal with the Royals has yet to become official.
