Moustakas feels 'back home' with Royals

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Third baseman Mike Moustakas took a good look around the Royals facilities and said smiling, "It feels like I never left."

Moustakas is back with the Royals, an improbable reunion that became official when Moustakas passed his physical Saturday morning. No corresponding roster move on the 40-man was announced.

After shaking hands and hugging numerous old friends in the clubhouse, Moustakas stepped inside a separate room to briefly speak with reporters.

"It feels great," Moustakas said. "Being able to come back here and be with all these guys that I grew up playing this game with in this organization is unbelievable, and I'm just excited to be back.
