Worst kept secret in baseball…. but the Cincinnati Reds officially announced the signing of Mike Moustakas today. They will hold a press conference tonight introducing him. The team also announced that he will be at Redsfest this weekend – so you will get your chance to see him up close and personal if you’re going to be in town for the event.
As was noted yesterday, and first reported by Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the contract for Mike Moustakas is for 4-years and $64M. But it also includes a 5th option year. And the contract is not for an even $16M per season.
