Salcedo was traded to the Royals on Friday, Cory Giger of the Altoona Mirror reports. |
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. |

Salcedo made the jump to Triple-A in 2014, but struggled offensively in 2014, finishing the campaign with a .212/.294/.357 with 10 home runs and 44 RBI over 110 games at the level. He will likely start the season at the same level with the Pirates in 2015. |
Thu Apr 14 2011 | 12:56 | Braves prospect Salcedo goes 3-for-6 |
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. |
