The Los Angeles Angels and third baseman Anthony Rendon have agreed to a buyout, ending his disappointing tenure with the team after signing a seven-year, $245 million contract before the 2020 season. With one year and $38 million remaining, the Angels will defer the payment for three to five years. Injuries limited Rendon to just 257 games over five seasons, and he faced criticism after a confrontational incident in 2023. The Angels aim to use the freed-up cash to pursue free agents for the 2026 season as they seek to improve from a last-place finish.
