Metro Sports 360 - Local Sports Rumors

Sources are saying the Royals maybe intrested in moving Jose Guillen to the Braves for 25yr old outfielder Jeff Francoeur.

The move would certainly only be made if Atlanta would eat majority or all of the remaining amount left on Guillens contact.  Francoeur has been mentioned in the past as a sucessful project player by Royals GM Dayton Moore and Moore isn't making it any secert that he would love to add Francoeur to Kansas City.

Francoeur is currently batting .246, with 4 home runs, and 30 RBI's for the Braves.

Royals third baseman Alex Gordon has got the ok to step up his rehab and could rejoin the Royals soon.  Expectations and rumors have Gordon back playing full-time at third base after the All-Star break.

This is great news for a Royals team who are already losing starting Center Fielder Coco Crisp with season ending surgery. 

*Other notes, John Buck is getting closer to returning as well and should be back around the same time Gordon is.
