If there is one issue the Angels had team-wide in 2025, it was depth. Their bench for most of the season was one of the worst in the league, with veterans attempting to salvage their careers providing negative value each time they were asked to fill in. The team also lacked a true “super-utility” player, someone who could play all over the diamond and was strong enough offensively to warrant regular playing time. While free agency and trades may be the best path forward, three internal candidates in Anaheim are worth keeping an eye on for 2026.
