Royals, Brandon Moss Agree To Two-Year Deal

JAN. 30: Moss will earn $3.75MM in 2017 and $7.25MM for the 2018 season,
reports Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports (via Twitter). The deal also contains an
option of an unspecified nature, which comes with a $1MM buyout.

JAN. 29, 3:46pm: Moss will make between $3MM and $4MM next season, per Dodd.

1:44pm: Moss’ deal is “significantly backloaded,” but his 2017 salary isn’
t yet known, tweets Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star.

11:43am:
The Royals have agreed to a two-year, $12MM contract with free agent first
baseman/outfielder Brandon Moss, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports
(Twitter link). The deal is pending a physical. ESPN’s Jim Bowden first
reported earlier Sunday that Kansas City was nearing an agreement with Moss,
an ACES client.

Signing with the Royals will keep the 33-year-old Moss in Missouri, where he
played the past season-plus as a member of the Cardinals. In 2016, his only
full campaign in St. Louis, the powerful Moss slugged 28 home runs in 464
plate appearances and posted a .259 ISO. The latter figure ranked 13th among
major leaguers with at least 450 PAs, though Moss didn’t register a
particularly impress overall line (.225/.300/.484) and hit just
.191/.248/.392 after the All-Star break. Moss’ second-half woes offset the
red-hot .256/.344/.566 triple slash he logged in the first three-plus months
of the year.

Moss also had a relatively mediocre 2015, which was thanks in part to a hip
injury, but the lefty-swinger is a well-regarded clubhouse presence and a
four-time 20-home run hitter who should at least give the Royals a capable
bat against right-handed pitchers. Plus, Moss has typically been usable
against southpaws, although they stymied him last season.

Defensively, Moss spent the lion’s share of 2016 in the corner outfield and
also saw plenty of time at first base – areas where the Royals already
possess everyday-caliber players. Eric Hosmer is set to occupy first again in
2017, while Alex Gordon and offseason acquisition Jorge Soler are the team’s
top options in the corner outfield. Moss will likely slot in primarily at
designated hitter if the deal goes through, then, as the Royals have been
lacking there since Kendrys Morales signed with the Blue Jays in November.

Kansas City will be the seventh major league team for Moss, who unexpectedly
broke out with the Athletics in 2012. Nearly all of Moss’ big league homers
(123 of 138) have come since then.

備註：

1. 皇家隊以$12MM/2YR簽下1B/OF Brandon Moss，待體檢通過即合約生效。
Year    Age     Team    Salary
2017    33      KC      $3.75MM
2018    34      KC      $7.25MM
2019    35              $1   MM 買斷金

2. 現年33歲的Brandon Moss是位不錯的左打者，生涯有四度超過2X轟的球季，而皇家隊
正缺一位能對抗右投手的左打者，而且他對左投手也不會打太差。

3. 在守備方面，Moss可以守左右外野及一壘，一方面Eric Hosmer今年球季結束就成為
自由球員，可做為萬一簽不回的備案，另一方面左右外野也可以跟Alex Gordon與
Jorge Soler共同分擔守備的工作；再加上原先的DH Kendrys Morales與藍鳥簽約，
DH的位置也可以順勢補上。

4. 皇家隊今年球季預計的野手陣容：
(1) C：Salvador Perez、Drew Butera。
(2) 1B：Eric Hosmer。
(3) 2B：Whit Merrifield、Raul Mondesi。
(4) 3B：Mike Moustakas、Cheslor Cuthbert、Christian Colón。
(5) SS：Alcides Escobar。
(6) LF：Alex Gordon、Jorge Soler。
(7) CF：Lorenzo Cain、Terrance Gore。
(8) RF：Paulo Orlando。
(9) DH：Brandon Moss。

5. Brandon Moss去年在紅雀隊的成績表現(今年33歲；去年薪水：$8.25MM)：

  G     H     HR     RBI     SO     BB     BA     OBP     SLG     OPS    OPS+

 128   93     28     67     141     39    .225   .300    .484    .784    105
