Overview

  • Mickey Moniak has agreed to a one-year, $1.25 million deal with the Colorado Rockies, expected to be finalized on March 27, 2025.
  • The deal comes days after Moniak was released by the Los Angeles Angels, who will pay him $484,000 in termination pay, bringing his total 2025 earnings to $1.734 million.
  • Moniak, a versatile outfielder and former No. 1 overall draft pick, will provide depth behind Rockies' center fielder Brenton Doyle and add flexibility across all outfield positions.
  • The 26-year-old's best MLB season came in 2023 when he hit .280 with 14 home runs and 45 RBIs, though his performance declined in 2024.
  • The Rockies' acquisition of Moniak follows their recent trade for Tyler Freeman, as the team aims to strengthen its roster for the upcoming season.
