Mickey Moniak, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels, has successfully resolved his arbitration case against the team. He will be earning $2 million in 2025, exceeding the Angels' initial offer of $1.5 million. This victory marks Moniak's first experience with arbitration since being drafted as the top overall pick in 2016.
Outfielder Mickey Moniak reportedly won his arbitration case hearing against the Los Angeles Angels . The 26-year-old filed for $2 million in 2025, while the Angels countered with $1.5 million. Moniak has won his arbitration case against the Angels, per source. Moniak will earn $2 million in 2025; the Angels had filed at $1.5 million.This was the first time Moniak went through the arbitration process since being drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft.
He will be eligible for arbitration two more times and remains under club control until 2027. The Angels have now handled two of their three arbitration cases this offseason. Along with Moniak, left-handed reliever José Quijada and third baseman Luis Rengifo qualified for arbitration. But, the franchise is still working on Rengifo’s case, which includes $5.95 million filed by Rengifo and a $5.8 million counter from the Angels.Moniak has played two full seasons with the Angels since joining the squad at the trade deadline in 2022. The Philadelphia Phillies traded Moniak and right fielder Jadiel Sanchez to the Angels in exchange for right-handed pitcher Noah Syndergaard. Moniak excelled after being traded to a team closer to home. The Encinitas, California native had the best season of his career in 2023, slashing .280/.307/.495 and logging a .802 OPS. Moniak hit a career-high 14 home runs and at least 45 RBIs in both of the last two seasons. His success in his first two full seasons with the Angels certainly helped the outcome of Moniak’s arbitration case.Three-time AL MVP Mike Trout missed the majority of the 2024 season with a left meniscus tear. However, Trout is expected to return to full health for the 2025 season. Moniak was able to fill in at center field after Trout’s injury, leading the Angels with 91 starts at the position. However, Trout, Jo Adell, and Taylor Ward will likely be the regular outfield trio for the Angels next season, with Moniak playing in a platoon role
