The Angels certainly have not spent their winter sitting idly by while owner Arte Moreno works on selling the team.
Minasian spoke to reporters a day after the Angels finalized a two-year, $17 million deal for utility infielder Brandon Drury.

Drury and Gio Urshela can both play all four infield positions and the corner outfield spots, although Urshela is the better defensive player and Drury is the better hitter.
