Kansas City Royals acquire outfielder Randal Grichuk from Arizona Diamondbacks for playoff push.

The Kansas City Royals traded for outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks to boost their outfield and compete in the American League Wild Card race. Grichuk, a 12-year veteran with a .243 batting average and seven home runs this season, replaces struggling outfielders on the Royals. The Diamondbacks received minor league right-hander Andrew Hoffmann in the deal, part of their strategy to rebuild their roster with younger talent.
