The Los Angeles Angels have not fared well in recent years and in 2024 they finished last in the American League West with a record of 63-99.
After missing the playoffs for a 10th straight season, the Angels need to add some talent if they want to be competitive in 2025.
The Angels have made a few acquisitions this offseason, including starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, outfielder Jorge Soler and catcher Travis d’Arnaud.
Though these players could be helpful, they don’t have the talent to turn around an organization, but the Angels could be interested in a bigger-name free agent who is still available.

The 30-year-old first baseman debuted with the New York Mets in 2019 and has played all six seasons of his MLB career with the organization.
While most people believe Alonso will end up re-signing with the Mets, the Angels reportedly are at least giving him a look and could potentially pursue him.
Alonso is known for his home run power but is also a leader in the clubhouse and could form a powerful 1-2 punch with a healthy Mike Trout.
In 2024, Alonso played in all 162 games and batted .240 with 34 home runs, 88 RBIs and a .788 OPS.
The Angels haven’t won a division title since 2014, and they will need to add some pieces if they want to seriously compete for the AL West crown in 2025.
