Jonathan Villar

Jonathan Villar reportedly signs with Angels

Jonathan Villar has reportedly signed with the Angels after being granted his unconditional release from the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Villar had a $6 million deal with the Cubs before he was surprisingly designated for assignment and released, and the Angels will likely owe him only the prorated minimum salary. The veteran will likely take a utility role, and was slashing just .222/.271/.327. With his speed, he may be relevant in deeper AL-only leagues, but for the most part, he's unlikely to be worth rostering in fantasy.
