The Los Angeles Angels need to make improvements to their roster if they want to make a run at the postseason and convince Shohei Ohtani to stay past this season. The Angels need to make improvements to their pitching staff and also acquire a corner outfielder. Another thing they should do is upgrade their middle infield. This free agency class has…

Major League Baseball's offseason has officially crossed the halfway point. All but five of our top 50 free agents are off the board. The trade market is still open, of course, but the biggest story on that front this offseason has concerned who hasn't been moved rather than who has. Coming into the offseason, the expectation was that the Los…

In a fun development for fans at Target Field (weather permitting), tonight's scheduled Angels starter is the one and only Shohei Ohtani. He of the 34 dongs, 25 pitching starts, and a tie for the MLB lead in wild pitches. (Tied with Detroit's Alex Lange, who isn't even a starter.) His Twins counterpart will be North St. Paul's own Louie Varland,…

There is a headline that constantly scrolls in my mind every time predictions begin to swirl around the Los Angeles Angels' offseason moves-each scenario popping with the lights of a'50s-style camera. Big names. Big money. Big moves. Big…mistakes? Pop! It never fails-especially in the past few seasons-making the Angels one of the more intriguing…

Not only was Shohei Ohtani one of the top pitchers in MLB this season, he was one of the premier hitters in the game, too. He's the Babe Ruth of the 21st Century. And he might be on a new team for the 2023 season. It seems unfathomable that the Los Angeles Angels would ship away the game's transcendent star. But Ohtani is a free agent after 2023.…

On the way to winning his third American League MVP last year, Mike Trout seemingly did something you wouldn't think possible - he got better. Now, the challenge for the Angels is to do the same. They believe they made a big step in that direction with the hiring of Joe Maddon as manager. He replaces Brad Ausmus, who served as a one-year bridge…

The Los Angeles Angels are entering a new era: After 19 seasons, Mike Scioscia will no longer be the manager. In 39 years before Scioscia became their manager, the Angels averaged 76.6 wins per full season, had only 12 winning seasons and made the playoffs three times (without winning a series). In 19 seasons under Scioscia, the Angels averaged…

Theo Epstein is a well-known MLB executive and current baseball consultant who has been rumored to be the man in line to take the reigns of the Los Angeles Angels organization. Theo Epstein's next job with a team is coming soon, writes @GMBowden. The architect of three World Series champions could be heading west...with Trea Turner joining him in…

Over at The Athletic, former MLB general manager Jim Bowden put together a list of 25 offseason predictions, some of which are serious, some silly, and some in between, although he doesn't clarify which predictions fall into which categories. A few of his predictions involved the Angels, and one didn't but should have - he predicted Tyler Anderson…

Aaron Judge is one of the biggest free agents in recent memory. Last offseason, the Yankees failed to meet Judge's asking price in extension talks, so he decided to bet on himself. That turned out to be one of the better decisions he could have made. In the 2022 season, Judge set the American League record with 62 home runs, and fell just short of…

The folks over at The Athletic put together a list of free agency and trade predictions for all 30 teams. The prediction for the Angels was written by Sam Blum and doesn't paint a rosy picture for the team's short-term future: The Angels will cut payroll. Payroll last year was about $180 million. And even with about $120-$130 million already…

The Raiders not only signed a potential starting linebacker when they added Blake Martinez to their practice squad on Tuesday. They also added a card shark of sorts. SEATTLE - On a scale of 1 to Rick Rizzs, how much joy did you feel Friday when Cal Raleigh clinched a playoff berth for the Mariners? Brazil Brasileiro Serie A BRASILIA, BRAZIL (AP) -…

And next year, his title won't have the word " interim " in front of it. BUY MLB TICKETS: STUBHUB, VIVID SEATS, TICKETSMARTER, TICKETMASTER The Los Angeles Angels signed Nevin to a one-year contract on Wednesday before the final game of the regular season. ESPN reported that Nevin became emotional in the dugout before Wednesday's game against…

MLB increased the number of teams in the playoffs, yet somehow competition for postseason spots decreased. More has not been merrier. It has been dull. A dozen clubs will make the playoffs, and with two weeks left a few positioning questions remained. Most importantly: Will the Braves or Mets win the NL East? But the only mystery about postseason…
