The Angels have had a quiet Winter Meetings, with their sole move being a trade for Vaughn Grissom, a former top infield prospect for Atlanta before being the main piece in the Chris Sale trade with the Boston Red Sox. The Angels sent outfielder Isaiah Jackson to the Red Sox in return, ending any chance the former eighth round pick had to compete for a spot with the Angels at some point in 2026.
Angels' general manager Perry Minasian was with Atlanta when they drafted Grissom, so this is a reuniting of the two. Grissom has never taken off as many expected, and is now onto his third organization with the Halos.
