Angels acquire Lamonte Wade Jr.

When San Francisco sends first basemen and outfield home Lamonte Wade Jr. Go to Anaheim in exchange for players named later or cash. The Giants are sending cash to Anaheim as part of their deal with Wade. Angel designated right-handed Michael Darrell-Hicks To make room for Wade in the 40-man lineup.
Last week, San Francisco was designated as 31-year-old Wade. He was Minnesota’s ninth round pick in 2015, and he had 42 games in the 2019 and 2020 twin games before trading with the Giants before running in 2021. Wade immediately became the Giants’ squad, defeating .253/.326/.482 in 109 games in San Francisco. The injury limits him to only 77 games in 2022, but he bounced in 2023, defeating 252 games 24 times the Giants cut a total of .258/.376/.401 (120 wrc+) in 252 games, where he played first base mainly but had an occasional look in appearance.
In the final year of free agents, Wade seems likely to be the solid left-handed bat of the Giants again, the Giants can trust first base, while the club awaits the arrival of the top prospects. Bryce Eldridge. Unfortunately, this is not a manifestation of the matter. Wade hasn’t played many times at all in the Giants’ 50 games this season, with his stock hitting percentage of .167/.275/.271 Slash series (59 WRC+). At least some of these struggles can be attributed to bad wealth on batting, as Wade’s .211 Babip fell nearly 90 points in the Giants’ relative nearly 90 points in the previous four seasons. That being said, Wade has less strength in his career than ever before, and even his .287 Xwoba is below average. Since San Francisco participated in San Francisco this year, they couldn’t prove that they would continue to wait for Wade to properly plug him into his plug in order to bring a senior first baseman with him. Dominic Smith Enter the fold.
For Angels, joining Wade is a fun thing to do. The club has a left-handed first baseman in trouble with daily work Nolan Schanuelso far, he has done a great job for himself with a 119 WRC+ in his 23-year-old season. It is worth noting that Anaheim announced the move as Wade was an outfielder who suggested he might primarily use Halos’ advance in the corner outfield mix. Given the club’s current outfield group Jorge Soller,,,,, Taylor Ward,,,,, Jo Adelland Mike Trout Hit from the right only. Wade can be supplemented with Ward in the left field and Soler in the DH, and will return to the right field regularly once the trout. In the short term, Wade could also provide some extra coverage for the angels if Soler needs to be on the injured list due to groin problems that have been struggling in recent days.
