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.
Love the trash signing keep up the piles of trash I’m sure the garbage is getting full
I’m going to tickle you
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
Well, the depth is nice. Hopefully all of it is in the minors when the season starts.
