ANAHEIM - When the MLB trade deadline passed and Shohei Ohtani remained in the Angels' clubhouse, it signaled that the club has no intention of rebuilding in 2023. And one of the moves they did make - trading closer Raisel Iglesias and the $51 million remaining on his contract - left no doubt that they are creating space to reload for another run…

Mike Trout made his big-league debut as a 19-year-old on July 8, 2011. In the years since, he has won a Rookie of the Year award and three Most Valuable Player awards and established himself as the best player of his generation, one who stacks up against the all-time greats. Since Trout's debut, however, the Los Angeles Angels have gone 721-708…

The Los Angeles Angels have made three big moves this offseason, acquiring three players to fill three big holes they had. Tyler Anderson is a guy they can plug at the top of their rotation. Hunter Renfroe is the corner outfielder this team was lacking. Gio Urshela provides much-needed infield depth. They shouldn't be done adding, but I think most…

The Los Angeles Angels were bit players in a once-in-a-lifetime show last season, providing the backdrop for Shohei Ohtani's historic two-way performance. The unanimous AL MVP in 2021, Ohtani finished third in the AL with 46 home runs (many of the moon-shot variety) and second in OPS (.965), and his at-bats were must-see viewing. At the same time,…

It is decreed in the ancient scrolls. Despite employing two of the greatest ballplayers in history, the Angels cannot finish higher than.500. It's an immutable law of baseball physics that cannot be bent or broken, but that won't stop the club from trying. Early in the offseason, they've been the most active MLB team, signing Tyler Anderson and…

The Los Angeles Angels will be traveling to the American Family Fields of Phoenix on March 31, to take on the Milwaukee Brewers in a Spring Training game. We will get to see reigning MVP Shohei Ohtani take the mound in what is likely to be his last Spring Training appearance as a pitcher, as he has already been announced as the MLB Opening Day…

LAS VEGAS - Perhaps the biggest question facing the Blue Jays this off-season is whether they'll trade from their enviable catching depth to address other needs. Thanks to Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk and Gabriel Moreno, Blue Jays catchers generated an MLB-best 7.3 WAR in 2022. They combined to lead MLB in batting average (.273) and on-base…

Years ago, the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels used to play in the same division. Luckily for the ChiSox, that's no longer the case. While Chicago is the beast of AL Central, they play absolutely ghastly when facing the Angels. LA is 4-1 over the past five games between the two teams. At Chicago, the Angels maintain a 7-2 edge through the…

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge gave the Angels a not-so-subtle reminder of why his American League most valuable player campaign cannot be overlooked because of Shohei Ohtani. In the second game of the latest three-game battle between AL MVP frontrunners, it was Judge whose home run turned the Angels' chance of catching up into a far-fetched…
