Sometimes an unexpected opportunity presents itself. The Los Angeles Angels have finally brought an end to the Anthony Rendon Saga, agreeing to a restructured contract that will allow them to move on from the game's worst contract. This could open the door for the New York Yankees to move off a bad contract of their own.
Over the last several years, the Angels have gotten nothing out of Rendon in the rare instances he was able to take the field, and even less when he held a roster spot hostage. With 2026 being the last year of his deal, they've been on the hunt for a third baseman, being linked to both last year's starter, Yoan Moncada, as well as Japanese star Kazuma Okamoto.
