C.J. Cron And Randal Grichuk Traded To Angels
1 year agoThe Los Angeles Angels acquired outfielder Randal Grichuk and first baseman C.J. Cron from the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Heading back to the Rockies are Angels prospect pitchers Jake Madden and Mason Albright. Madden is the No. 8 prospect in the Angels system according to MLB Pipeline, and Albright is No. 28. Both Grichuk and Cron will help an Angels lineup that could use more depth, but their fantasy values will take a big hit as a result of moving out of Coors Field. Grichuk was an already fringy outfielder, although he was having a solid season, slashing .308/.365/.496 in 240 at-bats. He will likely only be useful in deep leagues now. Cron has been a more reliable bat for fantasy purposes, but he will probably be pushed to a borderline starting bat with power upside instead of a must-start first baseman. Although most fantasy managers will know the downside of leaving Coors, it's worth a shot to try and sell high on these two.
