Overview

  • Los Angeles finalized the one-year agreement on Monday and designated right-hander Cody Laweryson for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot.
  • Moncada is expected to handle most of the work at third base after the Angels bought out Anthony Rendon’s final season in December.
  • In 84 games last year, Moncada hit .234 with 12 home runs, 35 RBIs and a .783 OPS for the Angels.
  • He missed significant time with right thumb and right knee injuries, limiting his availability over the season.
  • Across 10 MLB seasons, eight with the White Sox, Moncada owns a .252 career average with 105 home runs and 374 RBIs.
