Jose Guillen has been designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals. The outfielder-designated hitter was signed three years ago to a $36 million, three-year contract that made him the Royals' highest paid player per year in team history. He was leading the Royals with 62 RBIs and 16 home runs, and he is owed approximately $3.93 million from his $12 million salary this season.
