US EditionAngels restructure Anthony Rendon’s deal, ending his time in uniform
The Angels restructured Rendon's $245 million contract to free 2026 payroll space while preserving its current value with deferred payments accruing interest, sources said.
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Angels and Anthony Rendon agreed to restructure the final year of his seven-year deal, with MLB and the union ensuring deferred payments earn interest.
- After hip surgery on Feb. 12, 2025, Anthony Rendon missed the entire season, having played just 25% of Los Angeles Angels games over five years and prompting offseason talks with The Boras Corporation.
- The Athletic reports the payout will be deferred three to five years, Rendon will remain on the Angels' 40-man roster, and the luxury-tax average annual value is unchanged.
- The restructuring frees payroll space for 2026, removes the distraction of Anthony Rendon rehabbing with the Los Angeles Angels, and Perry Minasian continues exploring third-base options including Christian Moore, Vaughn Grissom, and Denzer Guzman.
- Observers note the contract's poor return as Anthony Rendon produced only 3.9 WAR with the Angels, appearing in just a quarter of their games while the club eyes replacements like Alex Bregman, Eugenio Suárez, or Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals.
