The Angels signed infielder Yolmer Sánchez to a minor league contract. The former Gold Glove winner was among the Halos’ non-roster invitees to big league Spring Training.
Sánchez, 32, is attempting to get back to the majors for the first time in two years. The switch-hitting infielder played seven seasons with the White Sox between 2014-20. He won the aforementioned Gold Glove at second base in 2019. Sánchez hit .245/.300/.360 in nearly 2500 trips to the plate in a ChiSox uniform. He has spent most of the last four years at the Triple-A level. Sánchez got to the majors briefly again in 2022, suiting up for the Red Sox and Mets.
Over the past two seasons, Sánchez has been in Triple-A. He hit .236/.381/.350 with Atlanta’s affiliate in 2023. He turned in a .226/.346/.393 mark over 399 trips to the plate with New York’s top farm team last season. Sánchez carries a .251/.340/.374 line in more than 3000 career Triple-A plate appearances. He joins Tim Anderson, J.D. Davis and Carter Kieboom in Halos camp as non-roster infielders who have major league experience.
Nice to add a good glove behind the developing pitchers.
…at AAA for the Salt Lake Bees!
Love the trash signing keep up the piles of trash I’m sure the garbage is getting full
I’m going to tickle you
That’s all Arte Moreno can afford I don’t think Arte Moreno is not committed to winning It’s now just a business this could be another long year if our pitching doesn’t hold up,l keep wishing Arte Moreno sells the team
Yolmer is an alltimer fan favorite. The best was when after a couple of games being the Gatorade bath guy after walkoffs, in a fit of exuberance after another walkoff, rather than approaching the hero, proceeded to pour gatorade…on himself
Refresh my memory. Was he Yolmer or Carlos back then?
Yolmer! That’s when the fun crazy stuff happened, including the Mickey Mouse ears when he got on base, a message to his infant daughter watching dad on tv
Carlos was just the first year.
Hey Alexa…..build me a time traveling device so I can go back 30 something years and decide to be a Dodgers fan.
Well, the depth is nice. Hopefully all of it is in the minors when the season starts.
Never gonna make the club. Hasn’t hit in 4 years. Waste of time for everyone concerned.
@redstitch. I was just hear for the sky is falling comments.
@rexhudler. I was thinking the same thing. It is like people hover over the app so they can see anything Angels related, just to complain.
No sky is falling for most of us angels fans.it already fell, and now is on the rise. Fly angels fly! It been awhile since they had a nice bit of young talent on the field.
@plugnplay
I agree. Spring Training is only a few weeks away.
He looks like a solid AAA player.
Geez, either start spending or Just sell the Team. BS about competing….Now gone are Santander-Flaherty and on and on.
@pete. Watch out for all 7 of us.
@pete. Just calling you out again, quick make more accounts. Can you back anything you say.
@pete. Attacking posters or you. You say they don’t spend enough. They sign someone to a market value deal it’s a overpay. Sign someone to minor deal it’s the angels dumpster diving again. Radio silence arte smells and sucks. You conveniently didn’t copy my response to him saying the bullpen sucks and saying he was going to be the closer, angels had the best bullpen since the deadline and like you he couldn’t prove me wrong. Does it matter they signed the 8th ss on the team. It doesn’t.
@pete. Thirty comments later, and you presented the smoking gun. Can you answer my question how signing a 8th ss, is going to ruin the angels franchise or will you continue to ignore it.
Not even changing his name to yolmer could save his career. Here’s to the rest of you Carlos Sanchez’ out there.
@Pete Rose Look at their payroll, the Angels are spending money!
Are all of these signees going to make the 40 man roster? No
Will guys like Yolmer Sanchez help the younger players compete in spring training? Yes
You need to go take a pill and relax. I have yet to see you write anything that remotely make me think you really are an Angels fan, and not a troll trying to stir up and argument.
@pete. Realistically there’s 7 angel fans on this site compared to your 30 burner accounts saying nonsensical statements. Yes we realize the team isn’t going to win the world series, and realize Sanchez is the 8th ss on the team, and he won’t make the roster nothing more than a player/coach at this point.
@pete. Question did i ever say that? he’s the 8th ss on the team. If I mute you. I will reply to one of the other troll accounts you have so does it matter.
@pete. what was your opinion? He’s not spending money and signing a 8th ss on the depth chart. You definitely can have a opinion yours just happens to not make sense.
@pete. Your opinion before that was angels don’t spend money. Now it’s they get garbage players. if the 8th ss on the team plays in the mlb. Angels will be competing with the whitesox for the #1 overall pick. I’ll remind you Angels were the most active team in the first month. I don’t want them to sign players to big deals because it doesn’t work out. Once again this article is about Sanchez. Your point is invalid like your existence.
@pete. I don’t attack posters, and you replied to me. Can you back up your opinions or just make up stuff I’ve never said.
Did i attack him?. I was commenting about dimwits like you. It’s once again the 8th ss on the team.
@pete, the name you choose speaks volumes about your integrity.
Pete Rose is innocent? He admitted to cheating. It is on record that he admitted he bet on baseball! How about you take your own words, “truthsayer” . If that is your truth, I choose my fanboy path, have fun with you angry tirades.
Yolmer Sanchez? You misspelled Pete Alonso, Mr Franco … wink
Jack Flaherty is returning to Tigers reports that the right-hander has signed a two-year deal with the Tigers worth $35MM
You mean the Angels couldn’t afford Jack Flaherty two years 35 million unbelievable Arte Moreno has no intentions of winning he will be remembered who let Shohei Ohtani walk without getting any prospects in return at the time the farm system could’ve used prospects maybe Moreno will get deported
@Johnny.
Really? Deported?
I am occasionally amused by you, but that is really taking things a bit too far.
I’m not in favor of deportation but I am so angry at Arte Moreno having the team up for sale and then pulling the deal off the table-so Arte I wouldn’t care if Arte hung up his halo and ride into the sunset on a bus my reasons when we traded forVernon Wells Angels ate the full amount I think somewhere around $54 million was remaining on his contract. Josh Hamilton Arte personally met and signed him full well knowing he had a history of drug problems then Arte Moreno stated he handpicked Anthony Rendon where money was supposed to be spent on a starting pitcher letting Shohei Ohtani walk away as a free agent without trading Ohtani and not getting a boat load of prospects in return WE NEED A NEW OWNER look I want the Angels to win The Dodgers blew us out of the water. We used to be the Dodgers little brother now we are orphans, looking for new parents.
I am glad you clarified your point of view on deportation. I appreciate it. There is a lot of vitriol regarding it.
I feel politics and sports should be firmly separated.
That’s good. I’m not trying to make enemies here. My mom was born in Italy. What makes me first generation Italian American and I don’t approve of deportation.
@pete
You are an angry lil’ fella aren’t you
@pete
Seriously, you need to reel it in. There is a difference between being argumentative, and being down right rude! Enough already.
Comments like yours should get to banned from this site.
@pete
There is nothing woke about racism. There is no place in it in any culture.
LOL ok lil fella. You have fun swimming in your pool of tears. Crying over your petty make believe wokeisms
Mr. Pete Rose all-time hit leader
I have my can of Raid handy works good against roaches and water bugs
