Money for Nothing

Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon will miss most of the 2025 season as he needs to undergo hip surgery:

After signing a seven-year, $245 million contract and debuting with the Angels during the pandemic-abbreviated 2020 season, Rendon, 34, has not played more than 58 games in any season. He had a 1.010 OPS with 34 home runs and a major-league-leading 126 RBIs with the Washington Nationals in 2019, but his OPS over five years with the Angels is just .717.

All told, Rendon has played in only 257 games and missed 451 — with 12 stints on the injured list since 2021 — for the Angels.

The trio of Rendon, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani should have made the Angels great, but it just didn’t happen.

    This ordeal has to be up there for the biggest bust in MLB history. The Angels could not catch a break with Rendon. Would you agree?
