Astros add LaMonte Wade Jr. on MLB deal to boost left-field depth

The Houston Astros are signing veteran LaMonte Wade Jr. to a major-league contract with a $1 million base salary after he opted out of a White Sox minor-league deal. Wade, 32, has MLB experience as a left-handed hitter who can play first base and left field, providing a potential left-field and bench option as the Astros navigate a full 40-man roster. He previously starred for the Giants (2021–24) and enjoyed a productive spring and solid minor-league numbers with Charlotte (AAA) this year, including a .250/.420/.441 line with seven homers in 201 plate appearances and an elite walk rate, although his big-league output waned in 2025. The deal would add depth while the Astros determine a corresponding roster move to finalize it, with Wade expected to contribute as a left-handed complementary bat against right-handed pitching.

Angels Acquire LaMonte Wade Jr. in Trade with Giants

The Angels acquired outfielder and first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. from the Giants in a trade involving cash and a player to be named later, while designating Michael Darrell-Hicks for assignment to make room on the roster. Wade, who struggled this season, is expected to serve as a platoon outfielder for the Angels, providing left-handed depth in a right-handed heavy lineup. The Giants shed Wade's salary as he was unlikely to re-establish his previous form, and the Angels gain a versatile bench piece.

The San Francisco Giants' request to have LaMonte Wade Jr. as their 27th man for a special game honoring Willie Mays was denied by MLB, citing adherence to rules. Wade, who is recovering from a hamstring strain, expressed disappointment as he hoped to participate in the historic game at Rickwood Field.
