2024 Fantasy Outlook
Moustakas opened 2023 with the Rockies but was traded to the Angels in June, and he finished with a .247/.293/.392 slash line and 12 homers in 112 games between the two clubs. The veteran infielder had a solid 105 wRC+ for the Reds in 2020, but the past three seasons have been ugly with a 75 wRC+, and his defense has also suffered. Moustakas landed with the White Sox on a minor-league deal and has a decent chance of earning a roster spot, but he's unlikely to receive significant at-bats and is even less likely to become fantasy relevant.

Invited to White Sox' camp
Moustakas signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Wednesday and received an invitation to major-league spring training.
ANALYSIS
After a solid start to the season with the Rockies in 2023, Moustakas' production fell sharply upon him being traded to the Angels in late June. He slashed just .236/.256/.371 across 250 plate appearances with the Halos. The 35-year-old Moustakas will have a chance to make the White Sox's Opening Day roster, but he would likely be limited to a reserve role with the big-league club.

Stat Review
How does Mike Moustakas compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Moustakas' season began with an April IL visit for a biceps strain, then ended prematurely with a calf issue. In between, he missed time with multiple trips to the COVID-19 IL. Moustakas posted his second straight below average campaign, mimicking his 2021 season in terms of final numbers. However, the pathways were different as last season, his splits were closer as opposed to 2021 when he handled righthanders much better than southpaws. Moustakas fanned at a career-worst 26.2% clip, offsetting his highest BABIP since 2015. Despite a career high 50% fly ball rate, Moustakas .131 ISO was his lowest since his rookie season. The Reds are on the hook for $18 million, but that didn't prevent the team from cutting him loose during the offseason. Moustakas should be able to latch on somewhere given he'll only cost his new team the major-league minimum, but he shouldn't have high expectations.
