While the Angels have been off to a hot start in the offseason and are poised for a massive upgrade of their roster, the real work has yet to begin. They saved money and added talent in the Grayson Rodriguez trade, are saving even more with the Anthony Rendon buyout, and have made some nice depth upgrades on the waiver wires.
That being said, they still need to sign the actual free agents and make the trades needed to turn this team into a playoff contender around Zach Neto and Jo Adell. Dylan Cease was the first (and only) major free agent to come off the board so far, and the Angels were very unlikely to make that kind of financial commitment to a starting pitcher like Cease.
