The Athletics and Royals have announced a swap of outfielders, with the
fleet-footed Billy Burns headed to Kansas City in exchange for Brett Eibner.
Both were playing at the Triple-A level for their respective teams, but have
been in the majors at points earlier in the year.

Burns, 26, brings to Kansas City an elite set of wheels that should play well
in the spacious outfield at Kauffman Stadium, and his overall skill set
should fit in well with the Royals’ general style of play. Burns boasts an
extremely high contact rate and has fanned in just 13 percent of his plate
appearances at the Major League level, which is characteristic of the
approach the Royals have utilized to great effect in the past two seasons.
However, his overall offensive game took a notable step back in his sophomore
season. After posting a .294/.334/.392 slash in 555 PAs last season (good for
fifth in the AL Rookie of the Year voting, though that award was really a
two-horse race), Burns batted just .234/.270/.302 in 292 PAs before being
optioned back to Triple-A earlier this summer.

Eibner, 27, has just 85 plate appearances at the Major League level, where he
’s batted .231/.286/.429 with three homers and six doubles. He ranked among
the Royals top 30 prospects, per Baseball America, in each of the past five
offseasons, checking in at No. 17 overall on the two most recent iterations
of said list. Though the former second-rounder is older than most would
associate with the term “prospect,” he does have an impressive track record
in Triple-A, where he’s hit .280/.354/.471 with 37 homers in 961 plate
appearances in parts of three seasons. Oakland has been home to no shortage
of late bloomers under president of baseball operations Billy Beane, and the
hope for Eibner is that he’ll seemingly be the next such success story.

Depending on the Royals’ plans for Burns, he could be controllable through
the 2020 or 2021 season. Burns entered the season with one year and 20 days
of big league service time, and he picked up an additional 97 days of Major
League service before being optioned out earlier this month. He’d need
another 55 days of service time in the Majors this year to reach two full
years, which would put him on track for free agency following the 2020
season. However, if the Royals view him as more of a September call-up for
the expansion of Major League rosters, Burns will fall shy and won’t be
eligible until following the 2021 campaign. Eibner, meanwhile, is
controllable through the 2022 seeason.

相對一些大咖來說關注度比較低的交易

運動家和皇家讓兩位暫時卡不到先發的外野手互換東家

個人很看好Eibner,希望他去魔球軍後會有一席之地能好好發揮他的打擊實力

皇家也期待能利用Burns的速度跟防守能力讓球隊升級

這筆交易對兩隊而言十分fair~
