The former Kansas City Royals draft pick recently played for the Seattle Mariners' American League West rivals, the Los Angeles Angels.

Leones del Escogido captured the winter league championship in the Dominican Republic (LIDOM). Leones defeated Tigres del Lacey, 6-5, to win th

Mastrobuoni, 29, hit .194 with four RBIs in 50 games for Chicago last year. He can play second base, third, shortstop and the corner outfield spots.

The Los Angeles Angels enter the 2025 season with many question marks in their starting rotation. Right-hander Caden Dana, 21, could provide one of the answers.

The Washington Nationals signed Japanese pitcher Shinnosuke Ogasawara despite his losing record. General Manager Mike Rizzo believes the lefty is “big league ready.”

Jake Lamb, who played for 7 teams in 4 seasons before spending all of 2024 in Triple-A, is looking to revive his career at Spring Training with the Giants.
