Less than 24 hours after signing free agent utility player Brandon Drury, the Angels added another intriguing lineup option by signing Jake Lamb.
The Angels continued to add to their organizational roster on Wednesday, signing free agent utility player Jake Lamb to a minor league contract.
Originally drafted in the 38th round of the 2012 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks, Lamb made his MLB debut in 2014. He broke out in 2016, compiling 29 homers and 91 RBIs to the tune of a .249 batting average, .332 OBP and .840 OPS. The next year, he continued to perform at a high level, hitting .248 with 30 home runs and 105 runs driven in, and was named to his lone All-Star Game.
After he was released by Arizona midway through the 2020 season, Lamb signed a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics, where he would play in just 13 games. He signed a big league deal with the Atlanta Braves in 2021, but failed to make the big league roster ahead of the season, resulting in his release during spring training.
