The Los Angeles Angels finalized a $4-million, one-year contract on Monday to keep third baseman Yoán Moncada.
Moncada, who will be 31 in May, batted .234 with 12 homers, 35 RBIs and a .783 OPS over 84 games for Los Angeles last season. He was particularly effective at the plate with runners on base and at Angel Stadium.
Moncada fills a need at third base for the Angels, who don't expect to have Anthony Rendon in uniform for the final season of his disastrous $245-million, seven-year contract. Rendon has been injured for the majority of the past five seasons, and he didn't play at all in 2025 after hip surgery.
