Uncertainty at third base plagues the Kansas City Royals and has ever since Mike Moustakas suffered a season-ending knee injury in his infamous 2016 on-field collision with Alex Gordon. Combined with the prospect of losing Moustakas to free agency at the end of 2017, the injury crystallized thought that the end of Moustakas’ time in Kansas City might be near; although free agency didn’t pan out for Moose and he returned to the Royals in 2018, his trade to Milwaukee in late July made the need for a long-term solution at third base a stark and sudden reality.
