3 Angels players who Perry Minasian would include in a trade for MLB talent

Jordyn Adams

First round talent is first round talent. Adams has elite sprint speed and some serious pop. Adams is the perfect example of a guy who could be refined elsewhere. The Angels are actually halfway decent at identifying and developing pitchers, but they have severely lacked the ability to develop position players the past decade. The Angels simply have not maximized the potential of their former first round position players like Will Wilson, Adams, Jo Adell, and Matt Thaiss.

The 24-year-old is no stranger to bone-headed baserunning and defensive miscues, and the Angels might not want any more equity in the Jordyn Adams business. He could be all flash and no substance. Between Mike Trout, Taylor Ward, Mickey Moniak, and Jo Adell blocking him, Adams has zero chance of breaking camp with the Angels. If the Angels were to roster another outfielder, they would select the contract of a proven veteran over a project. Nelson Rada is waiting in the wings as the Angels' outfielder of the future. Matthew Lugo might get a shot in 2025.
