The Angels started off their 2025 Draft night by surprising the entire baseball world, and at least temporarily disappointing many of their fans. While the initial shock of the pick might have undersold how solid of a prospect the Halos acquired, the rest of their draft class showed why they selected Bremner below-slot value in the first round.
So, while the Angels' farm system has gotten plenty of flack the past decade and there is a likelihood some of these draft picks are rushed to the majors, Perry Minasian used the savings in the beginning of the draft to be aggressive in the latter half -- in the hopes that this draft not only saves his job but the future of the organization as well.
