The Los Angeles Angels have secured a one-year deal with veteran infielder Kevin Newman, as reported by several sources, including Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The contract includes a club option for the 2026 season[2].

Newman, known for his versatility and speed, has played for several teams, including the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds. Most recently, he spent the 2023 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. During his career, Newman has demonstrated his ability to contribute both offensively and defensively, particularly in his role as a utility infielder[3].

In terms of his performance, Newman has consistently shown his speed, swiping eight bags in each of the past three seasons. His best season in terms of steals was in 2019 with the Pirates, where he achieved a career-high 16 steals when given more playing time.

This signing marks one of the early moves in the free agent market, highlighting the Angels’ efforts to bolster their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Newman’s experience and multi-position capabilities are expected to add depth and flexibility to the Angels’ lineup[2][4]).
