My Take
Yoán Moncada is one of those guys who arrived with absolutely absurd hype — the highest international signing bonus in history at the time, $31.5 million from the Red Sox — and for a stretch, it felt like he was going to live up to every bit of it. His 2019 season with the Chicago White Sox was legitimately electric: .315 average, 25 home runs, and that smooth switch-hitting swing from the left side that just looks effortless. The problem is injuries kept derailing him right when the White Sox needed him most, and by the time he moved to the Angels, he felt like a chapter that never quite finished. Still, when healthy, he's a legitimate impact third baseman with the kind of raw tools that made scouts lose their minds, and I don't think we've seen the last of a good Moncada season.
