Angels Sign Yoán Moncada to One-Year, $5 Million Deal
The 29-year-old infielder looks to revive his career after an injury-plagued season, joining a roster with multiple players aiming for comebacks.
- Yoán Moncada has signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels, according to multiple reports.
- The Chicago White Sox declined Moncada's $25 million option for 2025, opting instead for a $5 million buyout after a season in which injuries limited him to just 12 games.
- Moncada has a career .756 OPS and was once a top prospect, but injuries have significantly impacted his performance over the past three seasons.
- The Angels' infield now features multiple players recovering from injuries, including Anthony Rendon and Zach Neto, alongside Moncada.
- Moncada will compete for a spot at third base, potentially unseating Rendon, while also reuniting with former White Sox teammate Tim Anderson, who recently joined the Angels on a minor league deal.
