Royals | Not interested in trading Billy Butler

One rival general manager suggested the Kansas City Royals should trade DH Billy Butler and go with OFs Alex Gordon, Jeff Francoeur, Melky Cabrera and Lorenzo Cain in the outfield and at DH. However, the Royals have no interest in trading Butler. While the Royals want to trade or sign at least one veteran starting pitcher, they view 1B Eric Hosmer and Butler as their 3-4 hitters long-term.
