Angels Sign Daniel Murphy To Minor-League Deal
2 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels signed former New York Mets first baseman Daniel Murphy to a minor-league deal on Monday. Murphy was hitting an impressive .331/.410/.451 with two home runs in Independent baseball for the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League. The 38-year-old left-handed hitter has 12 years of big-league experience, but he hasn't played in the majors since hitting .236 (29-for-123) with three doubles, three home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored in 40 games for the Colorado Rockies in 2020. The three-time All-Star is likely to report to Triple-A Salt Lake, where he'll provide the Halos with some more infield insurance. In his prime, Murphy was an excellent contact hitter, but he never hit more than 25 home runs in a single season.
