BALTIMORE (AP) --
BALTIMORE (AP) - The Kansas City Royals have acquired outfielder
Josh Anderson from the Detroit Tigers for cash.
The trade was announced Thursday before Kansas City played the
finale of a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles.
The 26-year-old Anderson hit .242 with 16 RBIs and 13 stolen
bases in 74 games with Detroit this year. He was designated for
assignment by the Tigers on July 24 when Carlos Guillen was
activated from the disabled list.
Anderson is a career .283 hitter with three homers and 39 RBIs
with Houston, Atlanta and Detroit. He is expected to join the
Royals on Friday in Tampa.
