Mike Moustakas reportedly re-signs with Brewers, will try second base
The Milwaukee Brewers and third baseman Mike Moustakas have agreed to a 1-year contract renewal, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the deal will pay Moustakas $10 million once finalized. Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Monday that the club will try Moustakas out at second base this spring. The 30-year-old has never played second base in the majors, but if he's comfortable with the switch, Travis Shaw would likely take over at the hot corner for Milwaukee. Moustakas slashed .251/.315/.459 with 28 home runs, 95 RBI, and 66 runs scored across 635 combined plate appearances for the Brewers and Kansas City Royals last season.
numberFire's models expect Moustakas to hit .257 with 28 dingers, 87 RBI, 69 runs scored, and 3 steals in 2019.
