As reported by ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Friday, the Oakland Athletics traded Bradley to the Royals for pitcher Leo Nunez. The Royals were to pay Bradley's remaining salary ($2.3 million) as part of the deal.
But the deal was cancelled, The Kansas City Star reports, when the Royals learned that Bradley has an oblique injury that prevents him from playing. The newspaper reports that Bradley suffered the injury on a swing in his final at-bat Wednesday against the Reds.
