The Blue Jays would be the preferred landing spot for fantasy purposes since it would keep Torres in the hitter-friendly AL East, but he would make a ton of sense for Los Angeles, enabling them to move Luis Rengifo around the diamond. The big question here is whether signing Torres would be a bigger statement about the health of shortstop Zach Neto heading into next year in the wake of his offseason shoulder surgery.
The lack of transparency from the Angels regarding the exact nature of the offseason shoulder surgery Neto underwent last month, and exactly how much time he's likely to miss heading into next season, is downright bizarre. The 23-year-old shortstop was one of last season's biggest fantasy breakouts, finishing with 23 homers and 30 steals in 155 contests. At this point, it's challenging to confidently rank Neto among the top 10 options at the position heading into next season, and we're inclined to push him back into the SS15 range until we get some much-needed clarity on his status.
