DeJong walks to new team after being traded in middle of Royals-White Sox series

• Player walks from one clubhouse to the other
• Deal announced three hours before teams due to meet

Paul DeJong had a quick commute after getting traded from the Chicago White Sox to the Kansas City Royals. He threw his gear into a duffel bag and walked from the clubhouse on the third-base side of US Cellular Field to the locker room on the first-base side.

It's a lot better than worrying about getting to the airport and all that stuff," DeJong said with a smile after Kansas City's 4-3 win Tuesday night. It was pretty easy."
