Royals DFA Jonathan Sanchez..
A week ago, the Kansas City Royals threw open the doors to beautiful Kauffman Stadium for the All-Star game. In doing so, they also welcomed back a prominent former Royals player, Melky Cabrera of the Giants, who happened to be leading the NL in batting average.
And, wouldn't you know it? Cabrera continued to remind the Royals of what they've been missing by winning the game's MVP (while wearing bright orange shoes — as if he wasn't already attracting enough attention).
Adding insult to injury, the Royals decided on Tuesday to cut their losses with the main bait the Giants used to acquire Cabrera, left-hander Jonathan Sanchez. Reporter Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star tweeted that the Royals have designated him for assignment, virtually closing the door on the worst trade of last offseason.

Amazing. Brian Sabean took the Royals to the cleaners. There was a mid level prospect involved, but other than that this was a straight up Sanchez for Cabrera deal. Going into today's game, Melky was batting .353...

Monday, Sanchez had a hell of a time out there, and the fans were on him very fast. Teaford did pretty good in relief, but it looks like Sanchez is either done, or has to gut it out. Fwiw, I'm an M's fan, and thanks Sanchez...my fourth time going to a Mariners game and I finally got to see them win one live, 
My son also got a BP homerun ball off Ichiro(my son's first game). Thanks dude in the Royals bullpen!
