The Angels have spent the entirety of their offseason with two main focuses: saving money and finding cheap veterans to add to their roster. Even the blockbuster move of their offseason, trading Taylor Ward for Grayson Rodriguez, was done partially due to the amount of money they could save by making the deal. Furthermore, the Anthony Rendon restructuring obviously was done to save money, and the team has yet to show any real promise to spend those savings in free agency this offseason.
Budget signings have been the highlight as well, as the team has essentially rebuilt their bullpen by finding low-cost veteran options.
