Last night, the Kansas City Royals inked Mike Moustakas to a one-year deal with only $6.5 million guaranteed. When it was Moustakas’ turn in Pin the Tail on the Free Agent, Moustakas was blindfolded and everyone just left, leaving him alone and in the dark. Like every graduating music or journalism major, a lack of options forced the jobless Moustakas into a far less lucrative situation than he expected.
Moose’s disappointment was the Royals’ gain. At $6.5 million, which could balloon to $8.7 million after reaching certain incentives in his contract, Moustakas will cost at least $71.
