Not until about an hour before Thursday’s 5 p.m. CT Trade Deadline did the Royals begin to discuss the trade that would land them one final outfielder for the day. When the deal was finished, they had about 90 seconds to spare.

Mike Yastrzemski made a "catch of the year" quality snag in Wednesday's Giants game vs. the Pirates. About 24 hours later, the outfielder was dealt by the Giants to the Royals right at the buzzer for the MLB trade deadline on Thursday, league insider Mark Feinsand reported.
