Angels can’t ignore what Zach Neto’s arbitration projection is telling them this offseason

Nick San Miguel of Halo Hangout argues that the Los Angeles Angels should trade shortstop Zach Neto this offseason rather than commit to rising arbitration salaries. Neto is projected by MLB Trade Rumors to earn $9.8 million next season and has three remaining years of arbitration eligibility before reaching free agency after 2029.

San Miguel suggests that moving Neto would allow the Angels to acquire prospects to align with a future competitive window, noting the presence of young shortstop Arjun Nimmala. The writer also points to the Boston Red Sox as a potential trade partner following previous deadline talks.
