No doubt, it is the "teammate" end of two very popular, enduring sports cornerstones: Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas. They played together through the minor leagues and it wasn't long before they were playing together for the parent team, the Kansas City Royals. But it looks like this duo has been parted on the field as today, the first baseman Hosmer officially became a member of the National League's San Diego Padres. Third baseman Mike "Moose" Moustakas is still a free agent without a team.
If you're a regular reader of Narnia Dispatches, you have seen these two mentioned several times as one of our OTP's. This will be quite interesting to watch where Moose lands and with the unlikelihood of Moose joining San Diego, this author has begun to wonder if the two men are being purposely separated. It's hard to say at this point.
We wish Eric Hosmer success with his new team and the Royals will not be the same without him. Here's a look at he and Moose during their tenure with the Royals. Please pass the Puffs.
And at their last game played together:
