The Los Angeles Angels have claimed Ryan Noda from the Oakland Athletics, who previously played for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Noda, 28, showed promise in his rookie season, hitting 16 home runs and maintaining a solid on-base percentage despite a high strikeout rate.

In 2024, his performance dipped significantly, but he rebounded in Triple-A, showcasing his power and ability to get on base. As he approaches the 2025 season, Noda remains a potential asset for the Angels, providing depth at first base.
