The Royals have agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with free-agent slugger Brandon Moss, according to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan.
Moss, who has primarily played outfield and first base in his career, spent the last two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, batting .225 with a .300 on-base percentage and 28 homers in 128 games in 2016.
The news of a possible deal was first reported by ESPN’s Jim Bowden on Sunday morning. Royals general manager Dayton Moore did not immediately respond to a message from The Star.
Moss, 33, could project as a possible left-handed option in the Royals’ designated hitter rotation.
