"Wilson Betemit isn't the most well-known trade chip on the Kansas City roster. But he may be the most likely to go before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

The Brewers, unsatisfied with their production at third base, have talked with the Royals about acquiring Betemit, major-league sources told FOXSports.com.

Betemit, 29, has played all four infield positions during his nine-year career, but now he's viewed primarily as a corner infielder. A switch hitter, Betemit has a respectable .835 OPS in 140 games over the past two seasons.

Betemit's playing time has decreased sharply since star prospect Mike Moustakas became the Royals' everyday third baseman. But Betemit batted .306 during April and May, when he was playing more regularly."
