Angels Sign Veteran Infielder J.D. Davis to Minor-League Deal

Davis, 31, brings experience and versatility to the Angels' infield as he competes for a roster spot in spring training.

J.D. Davis, a career .257 hitter over eight MLB seasons, has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Angels, pending a physical.
Davis, primarily a third baseman, also has experience at first base and left field, providing the Angels with defensive flexibility.
The Angels are adding depth to their infield as they prepare for shortstop Zach Neto's recovery from shoulder surgery and Anthony Rendon's injury history.
Davis' best offensive season came in 2019 with the Mets, but he struggled in 2024, hitting .218 in 46 major league games and .147 in Triple-A.
This signing follows the Angels' recent addition of veteran shortstop Tim Anderson, also on a minor-league deal, as they bolster their roster for the 2025 season.
