After the Los Angeles Angels' franchise nadir in 2024, they completely re-modeled the roster heading into 2025 with expectations of competing. Obviously, that did not happen as the team finished the year with the sixth worst record in baseball (72-90). So, expect much of the same roster purging this offseason.
The Angels have Tyler Anderson, Kenley Jansen, Hunter Strickland, José Ureña, Yoán Moncada, Luis Rengifo and Chris Taylor hitting free agency, so until/if they re-sign they will be removed from the 40-man roster once the playoffs end. The organization will need to make room on the 40-man for any free agents they want to add, Rule-5 eligible prospects they want to protect, and players who will need to be activated off the 60-day injured list.
