Maitán was playing independent ball after being released by the Angels following a 2023 season where he hit .192/.300/.256 with one homer in 53 games for Double-A Rocket City. The 24-year-old was considered one of the top international prospects in baseball when he signed with the Braves back in 2016. However, his contract was voided after a scandal involving Atlanta’s general manager John Coppolella and Maitán ended up with the Angels on a $2.2 million signing bonus. He never reached the majors and will now try again in Minnesota, starting at High-A Cedar Rapids.
