As expected, Oakland A's trade Ben Zobrist ...

[Auggie]

Royals get him in exchange for two minor league pitchers, Sean Manaea and Aaron Brooks.

Manaea, 23, was selected by Kansas City with the 34th overall pick in the 2013 draft out of Indiana State. His professional debut was delayed by a torn labrum in his hip. Since his debut in 2014, the left-hander has gone 8-9 with a 3.23 ERA in 32 starts.

Brooks, a 25-year-old right-hander, was a ninth-round pick out of Cal State-San Bernadino in 2011. He's 42-32 with a 4.21 ERA in the minor leagues, and has a 20.57 ERA in seven innings with the Royals over the past two seasons.
