The Los Angeles Angels are notorious for spending inordinate amounts of money on star players, and not necessarily doing a sufficient enough job of rounding out their roster. Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon both make $35 million in average annual value, Yusei Kikuchi ~$21 million and Tyler Anderson $13 million. Going on a decade now, the highest paid players on the team have not lived up to their salaries and the organization has severely paid the price. Things are starting to look better, however, as the players on the periphery are picking up their play around the big-ticket items.
