Kansas City Royals: Trade destinations for Mike Moustakas
By David Hill
Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is a hot commodity as the trade deadline approaches. Where will he end up?
It appears to be all but certain that the Kansas City Royals will be trading third baseman Mike Moustakas. He has been a frequent topic of conversation in trade talks, especially as the Royals continue to tumble down the standings. His solid production this season, with his .258/.314/.472 batting line and 16 homers entering Friday, only helps his trade value.
However, the market at third base is fairly limited. That made the news that the Yankees, as well as other teams, are looking at Moustakas as a possibility at first quite interesting. If other teams are willing to consider him at a different position, that trade market opens up, allowing the Royals a great potential return in a deal.
But where will Moustakas end up? His trade market has widened, but there are still questions about where he will land. As limited as the third base market may be, there are not a lot of contenders necessarily looking for first base help either.However, any other teams being added will only help the Royals return in a trade.
Where will the Kansas City Royals send Mike Moustakas? Here are a few possible landing spots.
