Angels Sign Nick Madrigal to Minor-League Deal With Spring Invite

The contact-first infielder seeks a roster spot following a 2025 season lost to shoulder surgery.

Overview

Madrigal agreed to a minor-league contract that includes a non-roster invitation to big league camp, first reported by FanSided’s Robert Murray.
He missed all of 2025 after fracturing his left shoulder in Mets spring training, underwent surgery, and was later removed from New York’s roster.
A former fourth overall pick by the White Sox, he owns a .274/.323/.344 career line with four home runs across parts of five MLB seasons.
Known for elite contact skills and very low strikeout rates, he offers limited power and profiles best defensively at second base due to a below-average arm.
With the Angels seeking stability at second and third, he will compete in camp or start at Triple-A Salt Lake, with reports indicating he should be ready for spring.
