Wong’s second stint with the Angels lasted longer than the first but came to the same end with his release
Kean Wong was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 4th round of the 2013 draft and was the 128th overall pick. He worked his way up through the Rays minor league system until he made his MLB debut on September 5th, 2019 and was DFA’d on the 22nd. His first stint with the Angels was when they picked him up on September 24th after his time with Tampa...

David Ortiz was the only person on the ballot to make it to Cooperstown this time around
The results of this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame voting were announced on Tuesday afternoon, and if you were holding out hope that former Angels players Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu, Mark Teixeira and Tim Lincecum might make their way to Cooperstown in 2022, I’m afraid I have some bad news to deliver you:
Former Angels on the ballot:
-Bobby Abreu (3rd ballot): 8.6%
-Torii Hunter (2nd): 5.3%
Because the former Cardinals swingman was released in September and did not return to a big league roster before season’s end, he qualified as a minor league free agent who can sign during the lockout.

Despite being drafted as a catcher, Thaiss spent his career with the Halos largely as a first/third baseman before going back to a catcher full time at the end of the 2021 season
Matt Thaiss was drafted by the Angels in the first round of the 2016 draft as the 16th overall pick. Being mainly drafted for his bat, as soon as he joined the organization, he was moved to first base and also saw playing time at third. Thaiss, who bats left and throws right,...
MLB fans might remember Hillman best for his time as Royals skipper from 2008-10 — a stretch of three lean seasons that preceded the team’s rise to prominence under successor Ned Yost.

Junk made a short cameo with the Angels in September after being acquired in the Andrew Heaney trade
Due to a myriad of different factors that included untimely injuries and poor performance from their pitching staff, the Angels yet again found themselves as sellers once baseball’s July 30 trade deadline rolled around in 2021.
The club didn’t have many significant pieces to trade away at this time, but perhaps the biggest move that they did make was...

Ramirez made his way back to the Angels for two games in 2021 after being traded to Cincinnati in the offseason
From the time he was acquired in late 2017 all the way through the 2020 season, Noé Ramirez quietly existed as a pretty solid contributor to an Angels bullpen that quite notably lacked those during that time.
The Southern California native and Cal State Fullerton product never made his way up to a high leverage role during his initial stint in...

The rookie reliever’s 2021 MLB debut brought fire to an otherwise struggling bullpen, making him a smart option for the 2022 rotation.
It was a season of trials and tribulations for everyone in 2021 – fans included – but amidst the injury-fated bullpen, rookie reliever Austin Warren made a strong case as to why he belongs in the Halos 2022 opening rotation. And he did it with just 16 games under his belt.
