Former Orioles slugger Trey Mancini is attempting a comeback, signing a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels. The deal includes an invitation to spring training. Mancini, 33, last played in the majors in 2023. He has a career batting average of .263 with 129 home runs and 400 RBIs over seven seasons.

Mancini's career has been marked by resilience. He missed the 2020 season due to a battle with cancer, but returned to play in 2021. He was traded to the Houston Astros in 2022, winning a World Series ring. This signing offers Mancini another shot at a big-league return after playing in the minor leagues last year.

After opting out of a minor league deal with Arizona, Mancini batted .308 with 16 homers for Triple-A Reno. The Angels will be hoping he can rediscover his form. It will be interesting to see if Mancini can earn a spot on the Angels' roster during spring training and contribute at the plate.
