Last week, reports surfaced saying Wilson Ramos was the LA Angels’ top priority. However, Ramos signed with the New York Mets over the weekend, leaving the Angels with empty arms once again.
And now, it seems the Angels have shifted their focus into (arguably) the most talented catcher on the free agent market. Per reports, Yasmani Grandal is now in the Angels’ sights, as no team has brought in the 30-year old backstop so far this offseason.
Grandal is a very well-rounded catcher at this point in his career. Most fans remember his defensive struggles in the postseason last year, but Grandal ranked as one of the best defensive catchers in 2018.
