14 Trash Pandas selected for Angels 2025 Spring Breakout roster

Top prospects to compete on Saturday, March 15 against the Cubs' top prospects at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ

MADISONMajor League Baseball and Minor League Baseball announced on MLB Network the Los Angeles Angels roster for the 2nd annual Spring Breakout, with 14 Rocket City Trash Pandas named to the roster. The Angels’ top prospects will compete on Saturday, March 15 at 8:05 pm CT against the top prospects from the Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona, the Spring Training home of the Cubs. It comes after the Angels play a Cactus League game against the Brewers at 11:10 am CT at Tempe Diablo Stadium.

The 14 Trash Pandas include: Pitchers: Brady Choban, Jack Dashwood, Carlos Espinosa, Jose Fermin, Keythel Key, George Klassen, Camden Minacci, and Samy Natera Jr. Position Players: Sam Brown, Cole Fontenelle, Denzer Guzman, David Mershon, Christian Moore, and Nelson Rada.

Moore is the club’s top prospect, ranked No. 67 overall by MLB Pipeline, and is the Angels’ Spring Breakout roster headliner. Moore, 22, hit .322 with five home runs in his rookie campaign over 25 games. Moore was selected eighth overall by the Angels in 2024 out of the University of Tennessee and was promoted to Rocket City on August 2. He is in Major League camp for the first time and competing for the starting job at second base. Rada was the youngest player in the Southern League in 2024, playing most of the season at 18, six years younger than the average competition. The Venezuelan outfielder finished the season strong, batting .394 over 12 games in September.

The 2025 Spring Breakout Game is the second year it’s been held, as Angels prospects also squared up against Dodgers prospects last spring. For more information regarding the schedule, rosters, lineups and where to watch, click HERE.
