Left fielder Jose Guillen wants out of Kansas City pronto, according to a source who spoke to ESPNdeportes.com on condition of anonymity.


Guillen feels the Royals have not kept the promises made when he signed for three years and $36 million during the offseason, said the source. But the main reason he is in "living hell in Kansas City" is a foul relationship with manager Trey Hillman.

"Guillen and Hillman are not on speaking terms, they don't talk," said the source. "Guillen is definitely not happy, he's not comfortable and he would do anything he can in economic terms to ease his way out of Kansas City."

When Guillen signed with Kansas City he knew the team wouldn't be a contender in 2008, but he was promised that moves would be made to build a winning team in 2009, said the source.

The 32-year-old is leading the Royals with 14 home runs and 69 RBIs, but he has been nursing a groin injury that kept him out of the lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Guillen's bat could help a number of teams in the race for the postseason, but Kansas City has not shown any interest in trading him. The source said Guillen is ready to defer his salary for 2009 and 2010 if it helps increase his value on the trading block.

it would be more acceptable, yes. when you get paid like that, people have expectations.

kind of like a 10-6 record would be great for the chiefs, but bad for the patriots. it all depends on the expectations.

Holy shit that's reeruned. There is no cap in baseball, so the football analogy doesn't fit, Guillen's salary isn't eating up cap. You aren't paying Guillen, so you should hold him to the same standards of every other player on this team that under performs.

What really confuses me is when baseball fans begin managing the owner's finances even more specifically. For example, when the team was after Hunter, people were cool with the thought of offering him 15 mil. per, but some were like, "There's no way, I'd give him 20. It would be stupid if we did this."

Who the **** cares? I want good players. I don't give a **** what David Glass spends to get them. When we have a payroll that's on par with more competitive clubs, then we can start being a bit more precise. Don't get me wrong. Don't spend to spend, but WTF...I'm not the least bit worried about Glass spending another couple mil. He'll still probably be able to eat.
