MLB Trade Deadline: Royals, Red Sox Have Discussed David DeJesus

Jul 13 3:27p by Joel Thorman

The Royals and the Red Sox discussed OF David DeJesus, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com. Here's what we know:

The two sides discussed DeJesus about 10 days ago
The Royals are scouting the Red Sox minor league system
The two sides have yet to exchange names

This is about what we thought was happening but with a little more detail.

Recent reports have suggested the Royals want to "hit a homerun" in any deal with DeJesus but the FOXSports.com report suggests the Red Sox are "unlikely to pay a steep price for a hitter who is more of a complementary player than a difference-maker."

The Royals are also expected to wait until closer to the trade deadline before deciding on DeJesus. The two sides agreed to stay in contact.
