Angels Sign Carter Kieboom
44 seconds agoThe Los Angeles Angels signed former Washington Nationals top prospect Carter Kieboom to a minor-league deal that includes a non-roster invite to major-league spring training. The 27-year-old was a former 28th overall pick by the Nats in 2016, and he made his big-league debut in 2019. Kieboom ended up being a big bust for the Nationals, only hitting .199/.297/.301 with 12 home runs, 42 RBI and 138 strikeouts in 508 plate appearances over 133 games across four years. He only appeared in 27 games for the Nationals in 2023 and spent all of last year at Triple-A Rochester. Because of the struggles of Anthony Rendon, another former National, the Angels are opening up competition at third base this spring. Kieboom should be involved in that competition, but the expectation is that Luis Rengifo will have the leg up for playing time at the hot corner.
