Once considered a top prospect many moons ago, Adell has not quite lived up to expectations in his six seasons with the Angels. In fact, he has been basically a replacement-level player by fWAR (career 0.1 fWAR). At age 26, Adell took a significant step forward in 2025 with 37 homers, ninth most in MLB, and 98 RBI, second on the team to Taylor Ward, who's now in Baltimore. Adell also added nearly 30 points in batting average, settling at a more palatable .236, though he lost 10 steals from his 2024 total. The Angels are a mess and Adell's game is full of holes. His defense in the outfield is deteriorating, but at least on paper he's slated to serve as one of the team's main run producers again in 2026. Trade concerns are valid, as Adell might not play as much for a more competitive club. Read Past Outlooks
