Injuries derailed Yoan Moncada's career with the Chicago White Sox, but the Toronto Blue Jays could look to give the former top prospect a second chance in 2025.
Former Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is "generating a lot of interest" on the free agent market,The Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees were among the teams monitoring Moncada at the time. Now, Romero singled out the Blue Jays as one of the teams with "real interest" in Moncada.
When the Boston Red Sox traded Moncada to Chicago as part of the Chris Sale deal in 2016, he was a consensus top-five prospect in baseball. He then hit .315 with 25 home runs, 79 RBI, a .915 OPS and a 5.2 WAR in 2019, finishing 21st AL MVP voting. And while Moncada appeared in 86.1% of Chicago's games from 2017 to 2021, he went on to see action in just 42.8% of their contests from 2022 to 2024.
