Yes, the San Francisco Giants traded veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to the Kansas City Royals ahead of the trade deadline in a deal that concluded his long and productive tenure in the Bay Area. Having established himself as a fan favorite and a reliable offensive weapon since arriving in San Francisco, Yastrzemski was moved as part of the front office's strategy to acquire young pitching depth and prospects, sending him to the American League while bringing promising pitching talent back into the Giants organization.
