Mike Moustakas News
The Chicago White Sox released infielder Mike Moustakas and outfielder Kevin Pillar on Friday. Moustakas was released after slashing a weak .195/.283/.317 with a home run and two RBI in 41 Cactus League at-bats for Chicago after signing a minor-league deal with the team on Feb. 14. The 35-year-old left-handed-hitting veteran is nearing the end of his career. The three-time All-Star hit .247/.293/.392 with 12 home runs and 48 RBI in 112 games with the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Angels in his 13th big-league campaign. Pillar, who is also 35, went 11-for-44 in the Cactus League with five RBI. He hit .228/.248/.416 with nine home runs, 32 RBI and four steals in 81 games with the Atlanta Braves in 2023. Moustakas and Pillar will be looking to latch on with another team in reserve roles with the season starting next week.
Free-agent infielder Mike Moustakas has signed a minor-league deal with the Chicago White Sox that includes an invite to big-league spring training. The 35-year-old split the 2023 season between the Rockies and Angels and hit .247 with 12 home runs and a .685 OPS across 112 games played. The veteran was a mainstay for the Royals from 2011-2017 but his production has dropped off since signing a deal with the Cincinnati Reds prior to the 2020 season. Primarily a third baseman, the veteran has spent time in the big leagues with the Royals, Brewers, Reds, Rockies, and Angels. He is the lifetime owner of a .247 average with 215 home runs alongside a .738 OPS across 1,427 games. With Andrew Vaughn, Yoan Moncada, and Eloy Jimenez set to log the bulk of reps at the corner infield spot and designated hitter, Moustakas appears hard-pressed to get many reps with the White Sox, barring injury.
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Mike Moustakas (forearm) was initially hurt while trying to make a diving play at first base against the Cleveland Guardians earlier this month and then had to leave a Sept. 12 game against the Seattle Mariners due to a left-forearm extensor strain. Moustakas was eventually placed on the injured list but said on Friday that he plans to return on Sunday. It would give the 35-year-old veteran a week left of action before the end of the 2023 campaign. The three-time All-Star has spent time with the Angels and Colorado Rockies this year, hitting a combined .252/.300/.404 with 12 home runs, 47 RBI and 43 runs scored in 370 trips to the plate over 108 games. With the Angels, he's hit .243 (54-for-222) with eight homers and 30 RBI in 61 games.

In his first year with the Cincinnati Reds, second baseman/third basemanMike Moustakas struggled to stay on the field, playing just 44 of the team's 60 games during the shortened 2020 season. When he was on the field, however, he was the same old guy. He hit home runs and drove in runs at a strong rate (30 homers, 100 RBI) and walked enough (11%) to keep fantasy managers afloat in on-base percentage. Given how long he has been in the league, you might be surprised to find out that he will be just 32 years old for the duration of the 2021 season. The Moose got a boost this offseason with the news that the Reds are planning on moving Eugenio Suarez back to shortstop. This makes Moustakas the everyday third baseman, giving him versatility with 2B/3B eligibility on every site. A great pick at his current price.
