The LA Angels made a big splash in free agency by signing the most sought after offensive player on the board in third baseman Anthony Rendon. Rendon was close to being named the NL MVP finishing third behind the Brewers Christian Yelich and the winner Dodgers Cody Bellinger. What this move did beside giving the Angels a huge bat that will fit in nicely in the middle of the Angels order, is it gave them a bonafide third baseman who they can count on to play almost every game.
What the Rendon signing also did was strengthen the Angels bench as they will most likely have.
