Salcedo, 24, came over to the Pirates organization this past winter from the Braves, but has been struggling at Double-A Altoona for much of the season. He posted a .238/.304/.346 slash line with 40 strikeouts and 21 walks over 214 at-bats this season, and will now head over to the Royals organization. The Royals have not announced where Salcedo will be assigned at this point. | ||||||

Edward Salcedo went 3-for-6 with a triple and a double for low Single-A Rome on Wednesday. | ||||||
Salcedo was one of last year's biggest international signings, having received a $1.6 million bonus from the Braves. He struggled in his initial look at Rome, hitting .197/.239/.295 in 54 games, but he's off to a nice .321/.387/.464 start in seven games this year. He's splitting time at shortstop and third base right now, with a future at third becoming the most likely scenario. | ||||||
