"Following the trade that sent Taylor Ward to Baltimore in exchange for Grayson Rodriguez, the Angels lack much certainty in their outfield. , Jorge Soler, and appear likely to split the outfield corners and DH between themselves next year, but that leaves a hole in center that would likely be filled by Bryce Teodosio and Kyren Paris if the season began today."
"The Angels have re-signed outfielder Gustavo Campero to a minor league deal, according to the transactions tracker on Campero's MLB.com profile page. Campero, 28, signed with the Yankees out of Colombia back in 2017. He was selected by the Angels in the minor league phase of the 2020 Rule 5 Draft and joined the organization for the 2021 season. He's played for the Angels exclusively in the half decade since then, gradually climbing the minor league ladder before reaching the majors"
"That's because Soler and Trout both battled injuries throughout the 2025 season and have checkered injury histories that make it hard to pencil either one in for anything close to 162 games next year. Adell, for his part, hasn't faced significant injury woes over the years but just enjoyed his first above average season by wRC+ in 2025. That leaves the possibility of regression on the table,"
Gustavo Campero re-signed with the Angels on a minor league contract as a non-roster depth outfielder. He signed with the Yankees from Colombia in 2017 and was selected by the Angels in the 2020 minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft, joining Anaheim's system in 2021. Campero climbed the minors and made a brief major-league appearance in 2024. He has served as a reserve outfielder over the past two seasons, hitting .202/.272/.346 across 41 games and 114 plate appearances. The Angels' outfield carries uncertainty after Taylor Ward was traded and with injury histories for Soler and Trout, leaving Campero as organizational depth behind projected center options Bryce Teodosio and Kyren Paris while the team pursues external additions.
