The Los Angeles Angels are finally getting the Anthony Rendon albatross off of their necks, and fans are anxiously awaiting the results of their organization receiving many millions of dollars back following Rendon's buyout and subsequent retirement. Might the team be a destination for Cody Bellinger or somehow Alex Bregman to replace Rendon now? How about Framber Valdez or Ranger Suárez? The team has more money to spend, so spend it on some big name free agents... right?
The Angels' financials have long been a plague. They had virtually the entirety of the payroll wrapped up in Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon the past couple of seasons, and have been severely handcuffed because of that.
