Atlanta re-signed Moran to a minor-league contract on Dec. 17.
EDGE Analysis
Moran spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Gwinnett in the Atlanta organization, holding a 5.91 ERA and 48:16 K:BB across 45.2 frames. The left-handed reliever will likely return to Gwinnett to start the 2025 campaign.

Atlanta reassigned Moran to minor-league camp Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Moran spent almost all of last season in Triple-A, where he put up a 3.10 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 98.2 innings. He will almost certainly return to Triple-A ball to begin 2023 and could see a bit of time in the majors if Atlanta's depth is ever tested during the season.

Moran agreed Monday with Atlanta on a minor-league contract and received an invitation to MLB spring training, Chris Harris of the Mississippi Braves reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moran spent the 2022 season with the Angels, and he made just one MLB appearance while allowing two runs over a third of an inning. The southpaw is likely no more than organizational depth, but he will battle for a bullpen spot during the Grapefruit League.

Moran cleared waivers Thursday and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake.
EDGE Analysis
Moran was designated for assignment Monday but went unclaimed and will remain in the Angels organization. The lefty reliever has appeared in one big-league game this season, allowing two earned runs on three hits and a walk over one-third of an inning.

Moran had his contract selected by the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Moran missed out on the Opening Day roster after being in camp as a non-roster invitee, but he'll end up joining the Angels' bullpen early in the season. The veteran left-handed last saw big-league action in 2020 and allowed five earned runs with a 7:6 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

Moran isn't on the Angels' Opening Day roster, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moran served as a non-roster invitee this spring but was unable to secure a spot in the Opening Day bullpen after posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in six innings across six Cactus League appearances. He'll attempt to carve out a role at Triple-A Salt Lake and will bee a candidate to provide bullpen depth at some point in 2022.

Moran will serve as a non-roster invitee for the Angels during spring training in 2022.
EDGE Analysis
Moran signed a minor-league contract with the Angels in late November, and he'll get a chance to work with the team's big-league coaching staff this spring. The 33-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since he made seven relief appearances for the Marlins and Blue Jays in 2020. However, he was effective at Triple-A Durham last year, as he posted a 2.16 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 50 innings across 53 relief appearances.

The Rays reassigned Moran to their minor-league camp Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he made seven appearances between the Miami and Toronto bullpens in 2020, Moran was facing an uphill battle to make a Rays Opening Day roster that boasts more relief talent. He'll likely begin the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Durham, hoping to eventually earn another a look at the big-league level.

Moran signed with the Rays as a non-roster invitee Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old lefty has so far failed to distinguish himself at the highest level. He's thrown just 11 major-league innings in his career, allowing eight runs, with his 14.5 percent walk rate so far offsetting hit 30.9 percent strikeout rate. He missed most of last season with right patellar tendinitis.
