Yoan Moncada has signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels, turning down the Chicago Cubs, who offered $3 million. The Cuban third baseman's career, featuring 93 home runs and a .254 batting average over eight seasons with the Chicago White Sox, has been hampered by injuries, limiting him to just 208 games in the last three years. Despite concerns about his injuries and average defensive metrics, his batting prowess led to interest from both the Cubs and the Yankees before he ultimately chose the Angels.
The Chicago Cubs expressed strong interest in Yoan Moncada and even made an offer of approximately $3 million for one season, according to sources.
Unfortunately, the former top prospect has suffered from some injury problems lately. He has totaled just 208 games played in the past three seasons combined.
