Giants trade struggling 1B/OF LaMonte Wade Jr. to Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels acquired veteran first baseman and outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. and cash from the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

The Angels will send cash or a player to be named to San Francisco for the 31-year-old Wade, who had been with the Giants since 2021. The team designated him for assignment on Wednesday.

Los Angeles right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

Wade batted .167 with one homer and 15 RBIs for the Giants this season, his struggles culminating with a 2-for-17 performance on the team's most recent road trip.
