The Chicago White Sox announced Wednesday night that free-agent infielder Mike Moustakas agreed to terms on a minor-league deal, and he'll be in camp as a non-roster invitee.

Moustakas, 35, hit .247 with 12 home runs in 386 plate appearances last season. He played for the Colorado Rockies until a June trade sent him to the Los Angeles Angels for minor-leaguer Connor Van Scoyoc.

Moustakas signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Cincinnati Reds as a free agent in December 2019, after an All-Star season with the Milwaukee Brewers. Over three seasons for the Reds, he hit .216 with 21 homers and 74 RBIs.

Over 13 big-league seasons, Moustakas has hit .247 with 215 homers. He's a three-time All-Star.
