08/13/2010 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco Giants added depth for their stretch run by acquiring outfielder Jose Guillen from the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named later.

Guillen's three-year, $36 million contract is set to expire at the end of the year, and the Royals agreed to pay a portion of the pro-rated contract.

Guillen, 34, was in the midst of his third season with the Royals and was batting .255 with 16 homers and 62 RBI in 106 games before being designated for assignment on August 5.

San Francisco's current outfield boasts Pat Burrell, Aaron Rowand, Nate Schierholtz and Andres Torres.

Guillen last played in the National League in 2006, when he batted .216 and hit nine home runs in 69 games for the Nationals.
