We’re well into spring training, and Mike Moustakas is still unemployed. This may seem bonkers to you, that a 29-year-old All-Star lefty who hit 38 home runs the previous season would still be unemployed, but it’s 2018. What is bonkers has happened many times over already. We kicked off the year by eating Tide Pods, for Pete’s sake.
What is particularly bonkers is that Moustakas is a good player who also checks off all the other ‘intangibles’ that front offices look for. He’s a married family man (and proud new father). He’s a champion with postseason success.
