Angels Sign Kevin Newman to Bolster Infield Depth

The Los Angeles Angels have agreed to a one-year deal with infielder Kevin Newman as they prepare for the potential absence of Zach Neto.

Kevin Newman, a versatile infielder, has signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, including a club option for 2026.
The deal is valued at $2.75 million, with Newman set to earn a $2.5 million salary next season and the option for 2026 carrying a $250,000 buyout.
Newman played 111 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season, hitting .278 with three home runs, 28 RBIs, and eight stolen bases.
He is known for his defensive skills and flexibility, having played at all four infield positions and even one game in left field.
The Angels are actively working to improve their roster after a challenging season, with Newman potentially filling in for shortstop Zach Neto, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
