The Kansas City Royals have traded catcher Francisco Pena to the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations.
Pena was designated for assignment by the Royals earlier on Wednesday, and appeared in only eight games for Kansas City in 2015.
The 26-year-old hit .251/.305/.430 with 13 homers and 48 RBIs for Triple-A Omaha prior to his promotion to the majors.
