The Angels<\/a> have signed Trey Mancini to a minor league contract, giving him a chance to return to the majors after two years absent. Formerly a pivotal player for the Orioles, Mancini faced significant challenges following his colon cancer diagnosis in 2020. After a brief stint with the Cubs<\/a>, where he struggled offensively, Mancini spent a year out of the game before having a successful run in Triple-A with the Diamondbacks. This deal also reunites Mancini with Brady Anderson, a former teammate now serving as the Angels’ hitting coach, who played a key role in his career revival. At nearly 34 years old, Mancini’s path back to MLB is uncertain, but he showed promise in the minor leagues.<\/p>\n

By the NumbersMancini hit .308\/.373\/.522 with a 110 wRC+ in Triple-A with the Diamondbacks in 2024.He has not taken a major league plate appearance in nearly 30 months. Yes, But<\/p>\n

While Mancini’s performance in Triple-A is encouraging, it remains to be seen if he can translate that success to the major leagues. The Angels’ roster has varying needs and competition, making his path to a significant role quite challenging.<\/p>\n

State of PlayMancini will attend big league camp as a non-roster invitee.The Angels’ first base position has shown room for improvement, with rookie Nolan Schanuel and other uncertain contenders. What’s Next<\/p>\n

If Mancini performs well in spring training, he could earn a spot in the Angels\u2019 roster or potentially be called up during the season. However, his age and recent struggles suggest he may face an uphill battle.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/p>\n

Trey Mancini’s return to the Angels represents a hopeful second chance in his career, marked by resilience. Despite his challenges, he still possesses the potential to contribute significantly if given the opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Angels have signed Trey Mancini to a minor league contract, giving him a chance to return to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":151248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-151247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
