The Royals announced the deal Friday, hours before the Giants hosted San Diego in an NL West showdown. Guillen was expected to fly from Miami to San Francisco in time to debut in the series. The Giants began the weekend 2½ games behind the Padres, who lead the NL West.

The 34-year old Guillen was hitting .255 with 16 home runs and 62 RBIs in 106 games for the Royals before being designated for assignment on Aug. 5. Kansas City had 10 days to trade or release him.

Guillen, an 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 is owed approximately $3.93 million from his $12 million salary this season.

The Giants will be Guillen's 10th major league stop.
