Now that the Spanks have pillaged one of the best outfielders in baseball, can the Royals make a play for Cabrera?

Would the Royals consider such a move?

There is no doubt that Melky Cabrera would be a nice upgrade in just about every aspect of the game for Kansas City, giving them a solid everyday, high end defensive center fielder, and Cabrera earns a reasonable salary.

In context, a lineup with Cabrera, Dejesus and Butler at the top of the order would be vastly more productive. The Royals need speed, and defense, what do you guys think?

The Yanks will likely want pitching, and the Royals sure have a lot of that right now.
