Among the teams that have monitored him are the Blue Jays, Yankees, and Mariners.
Moncada has a prior track record. It's been a while, admittedly, but he hit 25 homers back in 2019. He also posted a .263 average with a .375 on-base percentage back in 2021. He hit .260 back in 2023. Unfortunately, injury issues have hurt Moncada over the last few years. He played just 12 games in 2024 after playing 92 in 2023 and 104 in 2022. He was a durable player from 2018-2021 but hasn't been since.
Moncada is currently representing Cuba at the Premier12 international tournament, representing the first look for teams at him since the end of the season.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
