Former Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels after a lackluster period marred by injuries. Moncada hit 25 home runs in 2019 but faced a decline, playing just 12 games in 2024. Despite being a former No. 1 prospect and having an impressive track record, recent performances raised concerns. His addition to the Angels, alongside fellow White Sox alumni Tim Anderson and Yolmer Sanchez, offers a glimpse of potential rejuvenation under manager Ron Washington as the team looks to improve after a difficult season.
Moncada joins a group of White Sox castoffs in Anaheim, including Tim Anderson and Yolmer Sanchez, who both signed minor league deals with the club.
With a reputation as a former No. 1 prospect, Moncada's recent injury issues and decreased performance raise questions about his effectiveness moving forward.
Despite injury concerns, the Angels provide Moncada an opportunity to revitalize his career under Ron Washington after a disappointing run with the White Sox.
The Angels are seeking improvement after finishing last in the American League West, and Moncada’s addition signifies hope for resurgence.
