Los Angeles Angels AA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Colas spent the first half shuttling between Triple-A Charlotte and the South Side. He managed nine hits in 33 MLB at bats, but they were all singles. Colas spent the second half with the Knights, where he finished with a .736 OPS. His strikeout rate is high, though Colas' quality of contact is at an acceptable level. However, he's left-handed and a slow afoot ground ball hitter, thus easy to defend. With a logjam in the White Sox outfield, Colas will get spring training reps at first base for the second straight season. Even so, unless he exhibits the ability to loft the ball, Colas is earmarked for a return to the minors. Read Past Outlooks

May 25, 2025
Colas agreed Sunday with the Angels on a minor-league contract, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Once Colas passes a physical, he's expected to report to the Angels' Double-A affiliate in Rocket City. After signing with the White Sox in January 2022 as an international free agent out of Cuba, Colas quickly emerged as one of the organization's top prospects. He never delivered on his potential, however, amassing a .223/.271/.309 slash line across 301 plate appearances over 88 games in Chicago between the 2023 and 2024 seasons before he was removed from the 40-man roster in late March. The 26-year-old outfielder had continued to languish in the minors before the White Sox released him Saturday, as he turned in a .500 OPS in 29 games between Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
There was quite a bit of hype around Colas when he signed with the White Sox as an international free agent in January of 2022 and he further fanned the flames in his first year of MLB-affiliated ball, slashing .314/.371/.524 in 526 plate appearances between High-A Winston-Salem, Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He then lit it up in the Cactus League last spring to earn a spot on Chicago's major-league roster leading into the 2023 season. It was a storybook rise, but what came after was alarming. Colas posted the eighth-worst OPS (.571) of the 328 big-league hitters who logged more than 250 plate appearances and was twice demoted back to the minors. He batted .190/.238/.293 against lefties and racked up 71 total strikeouts to just 12 walks. The hype has waned, so much so that the 25-year-old outfielder will likely go undrafted in most standard leagues for 2024.
For several years, Colas' fame has outstripped his likely MLB value, but his 2022 affiliated debut went about as good as anyone could have hoped. Chicago has fast-tracked the Cuban slugger, assigning him to High-A and then bumping him to Double-A and Triple-A in the same season. All told, he slashed .314/.371/.524 with 23 home runs in 117 games, and general manager Rick Hahn said at the general manager meetings that Colas could be the team's right fielder in 2023. His 25.6 K% and 6.2 BB% as a 23-year-old at Double-A and Triple-A are reasons to expect some bumps in the road during his rookie season. Colas has a chance to be a 30-homer hitter in the big leagues, but he is already physically maxed out at 24 years old, so he could eventually slide to designated hitter. His hit tool in the majors will be the swing skill. If he is a 45- or 50-grade hitter, that should allow him to play every day and drive in a lot of runs without killing fantasy ratios, but it's also possible that he hits for a low enough batting average that he isn't in much demand even if he's playing a lot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everyday role on horizon
OFChicago White Sox  AA
June 20, 2024
Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com expects Colas to step into an everyday role once the White Sox begin trading players this summer.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was called up by Chicago in early June and has a .300/.382/.300 slash line in 34 plate appearances, but he hasn't seen much playing time of late. A return trip to the minors could be in store when the likes of Eloy Jimenez get healthy, but that shouldn't affect Colas' outlook for later in the summer. Tommy Pham is sure to be traded and Luis Robert could also be on the move, either of which would provide an opening for Colas.
