Royals Open To Trade Possibilities

This doesn't necessarily mean the Royals are in selling mode.  In fact, as one American League executive put it, Kansas City is only willing to discuss "anyone outside their core players."  It's probably safe to assume that Zack Greinke, Joakim Soria, Alex Gordon and Billy Butler are untouchable.  

But perhaps opposing teams will be drawn to guys like Mark Teahen, Mike Jacobs, David DeJesus or Jose Guillen.  We've already heard a few rumblings involving Guillen, but the $12MM he's owed in 2010 obviously presents a major road block.
