Veteran first baseman and outfielder Trey Mancini has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels, according to a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The signing facilitates a significant reunion between Mancini and Brady Anderson, the Angels' recently hired hitting coach. Mancini is notably among a group of former Baltimore Orioles players who have publicly credited Anderson with providing pivotal career guidance and swing adjustments during their time together in the American League East. Before his recent stints with other clubs, Mancini developed into a core offensive contributor in Baltimore under Anderson's mentorship.
The 31-year-old Mancini spent the 2023 season with the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds organization. Over his seven-year MLB career, he has maintained a .263 batting average with 129 home runs and 372 RBIs. By joining the Angels on a minor-league pact, Mancini will have the opportunity to compete for a roster spot during spring training, potentially providing veteran depth at first base, the outfield, or as a designated hitter.
