Jon Jay Agrees With Angels
4 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels signed free-agent outfielder Jon Jay to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training on Thursday. The 36-year-old has played with six different teams in the major leagues over 11 years and hit .295/.359/.396 in 2,424 plate appearances with the Cardinals from 2010-14 in his best seasons. Since 2018, Jay has posted a slash line of .272/.337/.347 (86 wRC+) in 1,258 plate appearances with the Royals, White Sox and Diamondbacks. He hit a career-worst .160/.211/.240 in Arizona last season, although it was in just 57 plate appearances. Jay will provide outfield depth at all three positions behind Dexter Fowler, Mike Trout and Justin Upton to begin the season, but he's mostly a bench bat that is AL-only depth for fantasy managers.
