The Los Angeles Angels would be wise to avoid giving up draft picks for qualifying offer free agents, which makes these alternatives look even more attractive.
Stephen Parello of Halo Hangout argues that the Los Angeles Angels should avoid free agents attached to qualifying offers to protect their draft picks. Instead of spending high amounts and surrendering draft capital, the writer suggests targeting short-term free-agent alternatives to support the roster while the farm system develops.
Parello recommends pursuing second baseman Gleyber Torres as an alternative to Brandon Lowe on a potential short-term contract. He also advocates targeting veteran catcher Carson Kelly over Ryan Jeffers, reliever Bryan Abreu instead of Adrian Morejon, and outfielder Randal Grichuk over higher-cost options like Seiya Suzuki and Randy Arozarena.
