For some Angels fans, the highlight of their offseason so far was not the Taylor Ward for Grayson Rodriguez trade, despite it landing the Angels a pitcher with the potential to become a legitimate ace while also saving the team ~$13 million in payroll. And no, it was not the Alek Monoah signing (despite there being some reasons for optimism with the former Cy Young finalist).
For most fans, the best news they have recieved was that Anthony Rendon and the Angels were reportedly expected to agree to a contract buyout, ending the third baseman's time with the team and allowing the front office more financial flexibility to go star hunting this offseason.
