MESA, Ariz. – MLB’s July 30 Trade Deadline had passed five minutes earlier when Triple-A Worcester catcher Mark Kolozsvary approached first baseman Niko Kavadas with a fist bump. “Congrats,” Kolozsvary said. “We survived the Deadline.” Kavadas reciprocated, then was getting ready to take the field when he was told manager

MESA, Ariz. -- Three years into his Major League career, Bobby Witt Jr. has already had 2,035 regular-season plate appearances. That’s a lot of chances to make an impression. But when it comes to your wedding, you only get one chance to hit it out of the park.

MESA, Ariz. -- Angels left-handed pitching prospect Samy Natera Jr. understood why doubters said the things they said, but he made it his mission to prove them wrong. He may be at the early stages of a breakthrough that will silence them permanently. Natera didn’t even start pitching until he

Here are the top performers from the fourth week of AFL action:

PHOENIX -- It’s not often that a batter in the Arizona Fall League already has his first Major League homer under his belt. It’s also a rare occurrence for a hitter to return, particularly two years later. But Niko Kavadas finds himself back in the desert after a roller-coaster summer

Just think of some of the big numbers put up in the Minors this year -- 40 homers, 104 stolen bases, 202 strikeouts -- and they’re just the tip of the iceberg. Terrific performances came in a variety of shapes and sizes during the 2024 Minor League season. To celebrate

There was nothing trashy about these performances at Double-A. The Angels' No. 2 and No. 3 prospects -- Christian Moore and George Klassen -- entered the final Saturday for the Trash Pandas on similar footings. Moore -- who last played Aug. 30 after suffering a left meniscus injury -- looked

Christian Moore admits that the biggest adjustment he's had to make coming from college baseball to the pros is the speed of the game. But if his performance of late is any indication, this year's No. 8 overall Draft pick has hit the ground sprinting. Moore earned Southern League Player

Christian Moore has found a way to do even more in his torrid start to professional baseball. The eighth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft by the Angels -- who made a quick ascent to Double-A after two appearances for Single-A Inland Empire -- got even hotter when jumping

Not many 11th-round picks sign seven-figure bonuses. Not many pitching prospects throw complete games before they can legally drink. But then again, Caden Dana isn’t like most prospects. And he’s spent much of this season showing why. The latest example came Thursday when Dana’s latest strong start paved the way

Christian Moore has accomplished a lot in his young baseball career. Prior to the Angels drafting him eighth overall in July, the 21-year-old led Tennessee to a national championship and set program records for career (61) and single-season home runs (34). But the one thing he never got to do,

Christian Moore sat in the Single-A Inland Empire postgame meeting after his second professional game on Thursday night in Modesto, just thankful to have started his professional baseball journey. That gratefulness shortly turned into shock for the Angels' 2024 first-round Draft pick. The clubhouse erupted in excitement as 66ers manager

SEATTLE -- Angels superstar Mike Trout sustained a setback in the first game of his rehab assignment, as he left Tuesday’s game with Triple-A Salt Lake after two innings because of left knee soreness. Trout, who had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on May 3,
