In their first game since trading Kinsler, the LA Angels deployed Jefry Marte at third base. They also called up Kaleb Cowart from Triple-A to fill in on the bench. While Marte has value and potential at third, there are plenty more options for the Halos to consider heading into the twilight of 2018 and into 2019.
The first option is currently in Triple-A, and is the #8 prospect in the Angels’ system. Taylor Ward switched from catching to manning the hot corner prior to the 2018 season, and the former first round pick is experiencing a breakout season.
