Despite a lack of activity of their own on the free agent market, the Angels received good news on Monday when the Philadephia Phillies took one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball out of the American League West, as Adolis García reportedly signed with the National League contenders on a one-year, $10 million deal. Not only does this help the Angels by taking away a two-time All Star out of their division, but it also gives the team a blueprint going forward in their own quest for an outfielder. Furthermore, the Phillies were one of the teams in contention for a star outfielder such as Cody Bellinger (who the Angels have been connected to), and the García signing likely shifts their focus to other needs on their roster.
