Looming TV dispute suddenly explains Angels' quiet offseason

The Los Angeles Angels' fanbase has endured a rather ho-hum offseason to this point. Sure, the Grayson Rodriguez addition looks promising, and GM Perry Minasian has done a good job of adding solid arms to the Angels' bullpen. Even more uplifting was finally moving out from underneath Anthony Rendon's mistake of a contract — though the Halos still owe their failed star the remainder of his deal.

But the Angels haven't been very aggressive in free agency to date. In fact, recent reports suggested that Minasian and Co. were sort of sitting on the periphery, ready to strike a deal if one of the big-name free agents fell through the cracks.
