Reports: Royals trade Teahen

Kansas City veteran utility player Mark Teahen could soon find himself in a different uniform, according to multiple reports.

Originally reported by Bill Madden of the New York Daily News, Teahen would be traded to the Chicago White Sox in return for second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman Josh Fields. Neither team confirmed the transaction as of Thursday night, however.

Teahen joined the Royals in 2004 as part of a three-team trade that also involved Carlos Beltran. He made his major league debut the following season and appeared in 676 games with a career batting average .269 with 59 home runs and 293 RBIs.

Teahen responded to day-long rumors on his Twitter accounty late Thursday, stating: “After a long day of rumors & questions, I haven’t heard anything official. Heading 2 bed comfortable in knowing I’m a Royal 4 another day.”
