The Angels 2025 is the subject matter of this deep dive by Rhett Bollinger. His wild prediction is that Christian Moore will win Rookie of the Year. He says Mike Trout will be team MVP if he stays healthy. Rhett also thinks the Angels have more starting pitching depth than in recent years. Bleacher Report ranked Logan O’Hoppe at no. 12 for starting catchers. Silent C got the nod to start the season as the Angels fifth starter.
When Mookie Betts gets sick, he gets really sick. MLB suspended Julio Urias through the 2025 All Star Break. Tigers outfielder Wenceel Perez will miss at least a month due to back inflammation. Manuel Margot was on the open market about a day before being signed by the Tigers. He is an outfielder so I suspect this signing is related to the Wenceel Perez situation.
The Royals acquired Mark Canha from the Brewers for a PTBNL or cash. The Braves just released right-hander Dany Jimenez. The White Sox, for their part, just released Omar Narvaez.

It’s not baseball, but Cain Velasquez got five years for trying to kill that guy who allegedly molested his son. That other guy’s trial is coming up in June. If he ends up in the same prison with Cain Velasquez, he is probably screwed. In other fight news, George Foreman died at the age of 76.
