It’s official. First baseman/outfielder Brandon Moss is a member of the Royals, as the team announced the two-year signing on Wednesday.
Moss, 33, has been in the majors since 2007. Here are a few things you may not know about him:
1. Moss hit his 100th career home run at Kauffman Stadium while playing for the Indians in 2015. The ball went into Cleveland’s bullpen in right field, and the pitchers made a ransom note (ranging $5,000 to an Apple Watch) if Moss wanted it back.
2. He nearly quit baseball in 2012 to become a firefighter.
