Angels owner Arte Moreno did the unthinkable during the offseason -- he did not terminate a single member of the 2024 coaching staff and actually increased the player payroll for 2025. Angels general manager Perry Minasian somehow convinced both Moreno and team president John Carpino to provide the players continuity with the MLB player development department, and show them that they are willing to spend money on winning balllplayers.
Well, much like the 2024 iteration, the 2025 Angels have holes in the roster. There is a glaring, super-massive leak in the starting rotation, in fact. 40% of the starters have large sample sizes of being completely useless (Tyler Anderson and Jack Kochanowicz), 40% are definitely dependable (Yusei Kikuchi and Kyle Hendricks, oddly) and the remaining 20% has been a complete wild card (José Soriano).
