Jordyn Adams - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Enters free agency The Angels non-tendered Adams on Friday.

Impact Adams was DFA'd by the Angels on Tuesday, so the team's decision not to offer him a contract doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 25-year-old outfielder slashed .263/.335/.385 with 10 homers and 58 RBI across 123 Triple-A games and will now look to sign with another organization -- possibly on a minor-league deal.
