Mike Moustakas Slumping Before Deadline
6 years agoKansas City Royals third baseman/first baseman Mike Moustakas is bearing down on the obvious time that he's going to be traded, but his current slump isn't going to help his team get a nice return. Moose is just 3-for-26 over his last six games, and the rumors are flying that KC isn't going to get much in return for him. Moustakas has been a bit of an anomaly on the market. In the offseason, the market for him completely collapsed and he ended up signing a one-year deal to stay in KC. Now, overshadowed by the big fish that is Manny Machado, Moose is once again seen as a consolation prize that's struggling to draw a good return. He'll end up in some other uniform before August, but whoever gets him will likely be getting a pretty good deal.
