It has been nearly a decade since the LA Angels and their fans had a prospect to be genuinely excited about. Well, technically Shohei Ohtani was a prospect, but we all know that was a special case.
Jo Adell, the Angels #1 prospect and consensus top five amateur in all of baseball, is the best prospect this team has seen since Mike Trout. 2020 is the season he’s supposed to reach the big leagues, giving the Angels their outfield duo of, hopefully, the next 8-12 years.
However, Jo Adell is also arguably the biggest trade chip in all of baseball.
