Reports: Angels signing veteran INF Yoan Moncada

Yoan Moncada

Free agent infielder Yoan Moncada is signing with the Los Angeles Angels for a one-year contract worth $5 million, according to multiple media reports on Thursday night.

Moncada, 29, played just 12 games for the Chicago White Sox last season due to a left adductor strain. He batted .275 with three doubles, a triple, five walks and 11 strikeouts in 40 at-bats.

He played second base and third base in eight seasons with the White Sox, who declined the club’s 2025 option of $25 million in November. He instead got a $500,000 buyout.

Moncada was regarded as a top prospect when he was dealt from the Red Sox to the White Sox in the December 2016 trade that netted Boston left-hander Chris Sale. He is a career .254 hitter with 93 home runs, 339 RBIs, 306 walks and 918 strikeouts in 2,798 at-bats (a strikeout rate of 29.2 percent) over 747 games. He played in only 208 games the past three seasons because of injuries.
