Mickey Moniak Joins Rockies on One-Year Deal Following Angels Release

The former No. 1 draft pick secures a $1.25 million contract with Colorado as the team bolsters its outfield depth for the 2025 season.

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.
