Fans made the same joke about Angels draft pick’s guarantee

A bold claim made Sunday by Los Angeles Angels draft pick Christian Moore didn’t go over as well with fans as he probably would have hoped.

The Angels selected the former Tennessee second baseman with the 8th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.

During his interview after hearing his name called, Moore was asked about what he wanted to show his new team. Moore closed his answer by guaranteeing that he would win a World Series ring.

“I’m a winner and I’m a competitor,” said Moore. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in the next couple of years. But I promise you, I’ll get a ring for sure. It’s in my blood.”

What was meant to be a show of confidence from a young prospect turned into an opportunity for fans to crack jokes online.

Several fans on X quipped that Moore had indirectly declared his intention to leave the Angels because winning with the Anaheim-based squad was near-impossible.

Some reminded Moore that the Angels weren’t able to get close to winning a World Series despite having both Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani on the roster.

But despite the naysayers, Moore sounded nothing but excited to join the Angels’ organization.

In his final season at Tennessee, Moore batted .375 with 34 home runs and 74 RBIs across 72 games played. He helped lead the Volunteers to their first College World Series win in school history.
