BIG "IF": What Angels NEED to Do to COMPETE for a Wild Card Spot | FANMAIL FRIDAY Questions Answered
Description
Who’s rising and who’s falling in Spring Training for the Los Angeles Angels? Mike and Jon Frisch, the Super Halo Bros., highlight surprise standouts like Oswald Peraza’s hot bat and versatility, while voicing concerns about Alek Manoah’s struggles and Yoán Moncada’s inconsistent motivation. With debates on the fifth rotation spot, listeners get insight into internal options like Sam Aldegheri and Jack Kochanowicz versus temptations to chase former aces such as Lucas Giolito. Locked On Angels covers burning fan questions: Who should close? Kirby Yates or Jordan Romano? Could rookies like Raudi Rodriguez break through in 2026? The Bros. also explore how Christian Moore's power could change the offense, what Arte Moreno’s future holds, and which All-Stars would truly transform the Angels. Is a playoff wildcard within reach if the lineup stays healthy and embraces a revamped approach at the plate? Join the conversation as the Angels chart a path forward.
