Billy Beane really knows how to kick a guy when he's down. A day after designating Milton Bradley for assignment, the Athletics traded the board game loving outfielder. So where do you trade a disgrunteld player who's unhappy with his playing time? Why to Kansas City of course.The Oakland Athletics traded outfielder Milton Bradley to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Leo Nunez, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports. The Royals will pay Bradley's entire salary as he is owed $2.3 million for the remainder of the season.Considering the Athletics already have Nick Swisher, Mark Kotsay, Jack Cust and Shannon Stewart in the outfield, with two more outfielders set to come off the disabled list in Bobby Kielty and Chris Snelling, trading Bradley was the most logical choice for the A's. Especially since he's spent more time on the disabled list than in the field.
As for Bradley, he's going to get his wish. That playing time he's been lobbying for is finally his. Sure it's in Kansas City, but beggars can't be choosers.
