Mike Moustakas

2016 Twins trade Eduardo Nunez to the Giants for pitcher Adalberto Mejia. He entered 2017 as the #10 player in the Twins system.

Despite Mike Moustakas potentially being the best of the three, we might have a difficult time finding a trade partner. He really only plays third base or DH for an American League club.

Teams that could use a third baseman or designated hitter

There’s really not a whole lot out there for third base trade partners but an injury will happen and I’m going to make one up here. Anthony Rendon for the Nationals goes down for the year with a torn labrum.

2018 Scenario

The Royals trade Moustakas to the Nationals for left-handed pitcher Seth Romero and outfielder Blake Perkins.
