For a team that employs likely the two most talented baseball players on the planet, the Los Angeles Angels have made a habit out of disappointing in recent years. In 2022, the Halos once again found themselves toiling in mediocrity, as they finished their eighth consecutive season missing the playoffs, and seventh with a sub-.500 record. They aren’t short on bright spots, though, and they have added some supplemental help for 2023 - perhaps this could finally be the year they turn it around.

2022 Record: 73 - 89 (3rd AL West)
2023 FanGraphs projection: 84 - 78 (3rd AL West)
In a decade that hasn’t been lacking in letdowns for the Angels, 2022 somehow outdid a many of their recent performances.
