The Kansas City Royals have an apparent vacancy in center field and have shown interest in former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton, according to multiple reports via Twitter.

Hamilton became a free agent after the Reds did not offer him a contract before last Friday's non-tender deadline.

MLB.com's Mike Petriello wrote late last week that the Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays are favorite fits for Hamilton.
