Mailbag: Moustakas, Sanchez, Drury, Torreyes, Thairo, Murphy
Got a dozen questions in this week’s mailbag. Only one more of these before Opening Day. Hooray for that. RABmailbag (at) gmail (dot) com is the mailbag email address.
Moose Tacos. (Ezra Shaw/Getty)Many asked: Why didn’t the Yankees sign Mike Moustakas at that price?
Moustakas re-signed with the Royals last Thursday night, after I wrote last week’s mailbag, so these questions didn’t make it into the mailbag. Anyway, I would rather have Moustakas than Brandon Drury, yes, but that was never really an option for the Yankees. The Drury trade was a month ago now and there was no real indication Moustakas would sign such a small contract at that time.
