Traded to Royals Cordero was traded to the Royals along with Ronald Bolanos (ribs) in return for Tim Hill on Thursday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cordero brings much-needed power potential to a Royals lineup that finished 28th in home runs with 162 long balls during 2019. The 25-year-old played in just nine major-league games last season while battling elbow and quadriceps injuries. The left-handed-hitting outfielder owns a .240/.306/.431 major-league slash line across three seasons and will likely get plenty of chances to improve on that line this season.

May be pushed out of roster spot Cordero is in danger of being left off the Padres' 30-man roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact The emergence of Edward Olivares -- who has turned heads both in spring training and in summer camp -- has suddenly put Cordero's spot on the roster in jeopardy. Aside from Olivares' superior performance in exhibition play, the fact that he is right-handed (and thus capable of forming a platoon with centerfielder Trent Grisham) may give him a leg up over Cordero in the battle to be the team's fourth outfielder.
