The player's loyalty to the organization was clear when he mentioned the role the Angels played in his development and how he wished to contribute to turning the team's fortunes around. While making the playoffs is not a goal for the Angels this season, Neto remains under team control until the 2029 season, ensuring he has multiple opportunities to help the franchise.
