MLB Trade Deadline: Royals Send 'Top Talent Evaluator' To Giants, Mets Game

The Royals recently sent a "top scout" to the check out the Mariners prompting some to look over at Seattle to see what they might have brewing. Now comes word from Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle that the Royals scouts are staying busy on the west coast.

Top Royals talent evaluator is in the house. Just sayin'.

The Giants were playing the Mets on Thursday night.

The Giants are one of the teams rumored to be interested in Royals OF David DeJesus. They reportedly showed interest early in the process. They also reportedly showed some interest in OF Jose Guillen, but they're also not interested in rental players. Guillen is entering the final year of his deal.

We'll see if the Giants can "hit a homerun" on DeJesus, which is what the Royals expect if they're to trade him. The Royals are expected to look more closely at dealing him closer to the deadline (July 31).

Here are a few other stories we've had regarding DeJesus and the Giants:

• Giants GM Brian Sabean is hard to deal with
• DeJesus is "exactly what the doctor ordered" for the Giants
• DeJesus fits into Giants "no rental players" plan
• No rental players for the Giants may rule out Jose Guillen
• Giants reportedly interested in Guillen "for the right price"
