Angels Add Chris Carter on Minor League Deal
7 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels signed free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Chris Carter to a minor league deal on Sunday. Carter will effectively take the place of recently-traded first baseman C.J. Cron, who was dealt to the Rays on Saturday. Carter will compete with Jefry Marte, Luis Valbuena and Albert Pujols for at-bats at first base and designated hitter. Recently-signed Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected to serve as the DH occasionally as well, making at-bats hard to come by. Don't expect Carter to be fantasy relevant unless injuries force him into regular duty. If he sees regular at-bats, Carter is primarily a power option for fantasy owners in deeper leagues.
