Here are the day’s minor moves:
- The Angels have agreed to a minor league deal with infielder Gregorio Petit, MLB.com’s Alden Gonzalez reports on Twitter. He’ll receive an invitation to major league camp this spring. Petit, 31, has appeared in 82 big league games in parts of four seasons, including a brief stint last year with the Yankees. He’s spent quite a bit of time at Triple-A, compiling a .267/.320/.370 batting line in 3,029 plate appearances spread over eight years. Petit has mostly played shortstop, but has also compiled over 1,000 frames at second and third. He figures to provide some depth and a possible utility option for a Halos club that is still looking to fill out its infield.
the final piece is in place
He didn’t do quite bad with the Yankees last year good low risk option for the Angels.
With all of the small signings, minor league, rule 5 and low budget FAs, I’m hoping at least 1 or 2 will end with decent production this season. We will need this to stay competitive with the rest of the division.
Always need a utility player
Almost 2.5 million cheaper than Stephen Drew.
