Anthony Rendon’s tenure with the Los Angeles Angels has ended following a contract buyout, allowing the team greater financial flexibility in free agency. The restructuring of his $38.6 million salary will defer payments over three to five years, though specifics remain unclear. Signed in December 2019 for seven years and $245 million, Rendon excelled in 2019 with 34 homers and 126 RBIs but struggled with injuries, making only 257 appearances in five seasons.
