Los Angeles Angels Welcome a New Era with Anthony Rendon, Mike Trout Super-Duo

There's only one Mike Trout in Major League Baseball, but the Los Angeles Angels have finally added a superstar who can keep up with him.

The newest Angel is third baseman Anthony Rendon, formerly of the Washington Nationals, who MLB Network's Jon Heyman first reported is joining the team on a seven-year, $245 million contract:

Rendon's contract also includes a full no-trade clause and no opt-outs, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Chances are therefore that he'll remain in Anaheim all the way through 2026.

The Angels badly needed a major offseason win following their 72-90 flop in 2019.
