Yoan Moncada’s 2025 season in Los Angeles was never about superstardom; it was about revival. The Angels took a low-risk shot on him last offseason, signing the 30-year-old switch-hitter to a one-year, $5 million deal.The expectations were low. The role was big. With Anthony Rendon hurt, Moncada stepped straight into third base, played 84 games while the Angels tried to get through a season short on stable infield bats.The final stat line didn’t wow anyone, but it also didn’t kill the narrative. In 2025 with the Angels, Moncada hit .234 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI and an OPS of around .780 in 248 at-bats.The problem was defense. His glove at third base wasn’t great, and the thumb and knee injuries cost him time and rhythm again. That means teams looking for short-term help, not long-term plans, will call first. Here are the three clubs that make the most sense to acquire Moncada.#1. Milwaukee BrewersThe Brewers have already had Moncada on their radar. The Brewers need more offense at third base and DH, and they like bats who share duties without ego.Their park plays fair, their pitching is strong, and they don’t need Moncada to carry 162 games.They need him to hit when it counts, 4-5 times a week at most. Short contract, big upside if he stays healthy. It fits their formula perfectly.#2. Seattle MarinersSeattle is attached to offense shortages every season, especially in the infield. Their rotation and outfield defense already help limit runs. What they don’t have is a switch-hitting bat that can add pressure in the middle of the order.Third base and DH are open questions for them again in 2026, and Moncada gives them flexibility: play a little 3B, more 1B or DH, take walks, hit for some power, and don’t require long-term commitments.T-Mobile Park isn’t a home run stadium, but Seattle needs better bats, not perfect bats. This is the kind of smart, short move they can make without blocking their young core.#3. Cleveland GuardiansCleveland rarely overpays. They already view Moncada as a possible budget infield option because the bat still plays, even if the glove doesn’t.The Guardians don’t mind moving players around the field to protect matchups and health. Moncada could easily become a mix of 1B and DH, making the defense simpler while keeping the offense louder.If he gives them even 15-20 homer upside with solid walks and switch-hitting balance, Cleveland wins. If not, the contract is small enough that no one is losing sleep over it.
