The Royals have traded first baseman Ross Gload to the Marlins for a player to be named later. Gload, who is hitting .280 in 22 games this spring, was drafted by the Marlins in the 13th round of 1997 amateur draft.

"As long as there is a uniform on the other side there's an opportunity," Gload said. "I think I can fit in well with a National League ballclub. Ideally, I would have liked to been here. I wish there was a spot."
