LATERAL MOVE: Angels' Perry Minasian Promised UPGRADES, but Re-Signing Yoán Moncada Isn't That
Description
The Los Angeles Angels stick with Yoán Moncada at 3rd base after Perry Minasian eyed an upgrade; will a familiar face spark real change or leave fans wanting more? The Halos’ offseason strategy comes into sharp focus as Jon and Mike Frisch, the Super Halo Bros., break down Moncada’s $4 million deal, missed opportunities for stars like Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette, and what this lateral move means for the 2026 campaign. Key topics include Moncada’s health struggles, questions around his defensive decline, and his upside as a left-handed bat in a lineup craving on-base skills. The conversation highlights the Angels' cost-cutting approach under Arte Moreno and what Moncada would have to do in 2026 to be considered an "upgrade." Can the Angels overcome a series of “what ifs” and finally solidify their infield?
