Yoan Moncada Has A Chance To Start At Third For Angels
MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger projects Los Angeles Angels infielder Yoan Moncada as the team's starting third baseman on Opening Day. The Angels signed him to a one-year deal just before spring training, and he will be part of a battle for playing time at third base with Anthony Rendon, Cole Fontenelle, Carter Kieboom and J.D. Davis. Rendon has had trouble staying healthy in recent seasons, which makes him starting at the hot corner in 2025 far from a guarantee. The 29-year-old Moncada has had injury issues of his own the last two years, though, and has played in 104 games combined in 2023 and 2024. He averaged 69 games in a three-year span with Chicago, so he's also far from a guarantee at third for the Halos. Moncada is younger than Rendon, though, and has had an above-average .733 OPS with 11 homers and 40 RBI the last two years with the White Sox when healthy.
