NEW YORK -- The Royals late Friday night agreed to a deal with the Brewers that sends third baseman Mike Moustakas to the Brewers for Minor Leaguers Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez.
Moustakas, who set the franchise single-season record for home runs with 38 in 2017, agreed to a $5.5 million deal in March with a mutual option in '19 that contained a $1 million buyout.
The Royals announced Friday's deal on Twitter but said general manager Dayton Moore would not be available for comment until Saturday.
