The Angels and outfielder are in agreement on a minor league contract, as first by Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. Hes expected to head to the Halos Double-A affiliate once he pa ses his physical, per the report. Colas is the latest in a line of former top prospects to try to rebuild their careers with the Halos. The Angels have regularly given looks to once-vaunted talents who didnt reach their potential through several auditions with their original organizations. Recent examples include , , , and , just to name a few. The 26-year-old Colas was a notable international pickup by the White Sox during the 2021-22 signing period. Hed posted intriguing power numbers both in the Cuban National Series and in Japans Nippon Profe sional Baseball. Initial thought that he could be a two-way player based on some dabbling on the mound in Japan proved vastly overstated, but throughout Colas early run in the ChiSox organization, he Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey was still lauded as a top-100 prospect in the sport. During the 2022 season, his first after signing with the Sox, Colas ripped through minor league pitching, slashing .314/.371/.524 with 23 homers acro s three levels. Strong as those rate stats were, his production came with some red flags. Colas spent the bulk of the season playing against younger and le s experienced competition, and he rarely walked. His strikeout rates also climbed rapidly as he moved from High-A to Double-A to Triple-A. Colas made his big league debut the following year, in 2023, and looked overmatched against MLB opposition. He tallied 263 plate appearances over the life of 75 games and turned in an anemic .216/.257/.314 batting line with a hefty 27.6% strikeout rate against a tiny 4.6% walk rate. His overly aggre sive approach was clearly exploited; Colas had the 13th-highest chase rate on pitches off the plate among the 328 batters who tallied at least 250 plate appearances in 2023. His contact rate ranked 289th among that same set of 328 hitters. Colas still managed to hit Triple-A pitching well that season, but even his production in the upper minors dipped the following season. He .246/.332/.400 at the Triple-A level in 2024. Even as the White Sox fielded a historically bad team that season, he received only 38 major league plate appearances and hit just .273/.368/.273 in that time. He split 2025 between the White Sox Double-A and Triple-A squads, batting a combined .163/.245/.255 in 110 turns at the plate before being released. At this point, Colas is a pure project, but theres little harm for an Angels team with a paper-thin farm system speculating on a once-notable outfield prospect. Only two of the Angels top 20 prospects at MLB.com are outfielders. is currently hitting well in Double-A but is only 19 years old. is on the big league roster but showing a similarly untenable approach to that of the recently optioned chasing pitches and striking out at alarming rates. Colas will have to hit his way into being an option whatsoever, but hell give them some depth at a thin position. Rafael Montero Jersey
