With one tweet, Royals dunked on former KC outfielder/Buccaneers fan Brett Phillips
Things turned out well for outfielder Brett Phillips last season following his trade from the Royals.
Phillips was dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays, who advanced to the World Series. He had a massive hit with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 4 that helped turn a loss into a win for Tampa Bay.

This is a fun exchange.
