Third baseman Yoán Moncada finalizes $4 million, 1-year deal to stay with Los Angeles Angels
February 2, 2026
The Los Angeles Angels have finalized a $4 million, one-year contract 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.
