Last offseason, the Angels made a big-time splash, as they signed free-agent third baseman Anthony Rendon to a seven-year deal worth nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.
His start with the Angels got off to a rough start, as he missed the first few games with an injury. The first few weeks he played weren’t pleasant either, as he was hitting .103 through the first 12 games he played. After that rough stretch, he turned things around and went back to being the hitter that earned him that big contract.
Over his final 40 games, Rendon was arguably one of the best hitters in all of the American League.
