The 30-year-old is currently playing for the Los Angeles Angels on a one-year, $5 million contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoncada is having his best season since his breakout year with the Chicago White Sox in 2019. He has a 135 wRC+ in 37 games for the Angels, and it\u2019s not a fluke. He\u2019s posting his best contact-quality metrics since 2019. Moncada is a poor defender at third base, but he would offer considerably better offense than Oswald Peraza or Jorbit Vivas,\u201d Kirschner wrote. \u201cThe price to land Moncada should not be exorbitant in terms of prospect capital, and his salary is reasonable for a rental.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moncada signed with the Red Sox as an amateur free agent in March 2015 when he was 19 years old and was the No. 3 prospect in baseball (per Baseball America) ahead of the 2016 campaign. The Cuban made his big-league debut with Boston in September 2016.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Moncada and right-handed pitcher Michael Kopech were the headliners of a four-player package of prospects that the Red Sox traded to the Chicago White Sox in December 2016 to land ace lefty Chris Sale.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>While Sale earned two All-Star nods and a World Series title with Boston, Moncada struggled to live up to the lofty hype during his eight seasons with the Pale Hose. Moncada did have a big 2019 campaign, however, posting career highs in home runs (25), RBIs (79) and a number of other offensive categories, including his .315\/.367\/.548 slash line. He finished that year 21st in the AL MVP voting.<\/p>\n<p>Moncada signed with the Angels in February and has recorded eight home runs, 22 RBIs and a .244\/.341\/.513 triple slash across 119 at-bats covering 37 games this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Kirschner of The Athletic listed Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada as a possible fit for the New York Yankees on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":81747,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
