The Royals made yet another trade with the Washington Nationals on Sunday.
A decent five-toolish prospect coming up though the minors, he had a breakout season last year in Washington, slashing .251/.313/.498. He has struggled this year with contact, hitting only .200/.321/.354.

Austin Cox (Burlington): P, 5th Round
4 G, 2.70 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 30 K/5 BB, 16.2 IP
Austin Cox is off to a great start in Burlington nearly striking out two per inning. With a WHIP around 1, he is commanding his pitches well. He looks like another college arm that is primed to excel in the system.
