| ANGELS LAND DEPTH INFIELDER RYAN Tuesday, May 10, 2016 |
|---|
| The Los Angeles Angels acquired infielder Brendan Ryan from the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later or cash considerations. |
|
What does it give the Los Angeles Angels?
The Angels needed some infield depth after losing starting shortstop Andrelton Simmons (thumb, 15-day DL), so they swung a minor deal to get journeyman gloveman Ryan. He will probably back up Cliff Pennington until Simmons is activated.
|
|
What does it give the Washington Nationals?
The Nationals are content with the play of Danny Espinosa at shortstop so far this season, and they also boast Stephen Drew as a backup and promising prospect Trea Turner waiting in the wings. Therefore, they could afford to ship Ryan out at this time.

|
Fantasy Impact
Ryan has always been about his defense, not offense. Therefore, he offers very little fantasy value (if any at all).
