POTENTIAL LANDING SPOTS FOR MOUSTAKAS – LOS ANGELES ANGELS
When the dust settles, Mike Moustakas will probably be signing a deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. This move makes the most sense for both parties.
It makes sense for Moustakas because he’s originally from Los Angeles. Jerry Crasnick even tweeted that the Angels are Moose’ top choice at the moment and that’s probably because he’d be heading back home.
An #MLB insider who's familiar with Mike Moustakas' thinking said the #Angels are No. 1 on his wish list. GM Billy Eppler could pursue Moose, or he could roll with Luis Valbuena (22 HRS and a .199 batting average) at 3B and focus on adding a second baseman.

This signing would make sense for the Angels as well. They need a third baseman and Moustakas just so happens to be a third baseman. He’d be a great fit for their team.
When looking at all of the options out there for Mike Moustakas, the Los Angeles Angels appear to make the most sense. It only adds to the likelihood of this deal happening when hearing that the Angels are at the top of Moustakas’ wish list. Both sides want it to work, so why not make it happen?
The Angels would be foolish to not sign Mike Moustakas to a long-term deal.
