US EditionAngels Reportedly Seek to Buy Out Anthony Rendon’s Contract
The Angels seek to free up $38 million in salary and a 40-man roster spot by negotiating an early exit for Rendon, who missed last season after hip surgery.
- Recently, the Angels and Anthony Rendon have been negotiating an early-exit agreement to end his time on the roster a season early, ESPN reporter Alden González said the plan involves a buyout with Rendon expected to retire.
- Availability concerns — just 256 games in six years — pushed discussions, as Anthony Rendon missed all of last season after hip surgery and never played more than 58 games in a season for the Angels.
- Financially, the deal hinges on Rendon's $38 million 2026 salary, with the Major League Baseball Players Association preventing salary givebacks but allowing deferred payments to free payroll space.
- The club had already planned to move on without Rendon, so an exit would accelerate replacement plans as Perry Minasian said finding an everyday third baseman was a priority.
- The Strasburg precedent and shared agent Scott Boras offer a template for a buyout, and Boras said Rendon was rehabbing and focused on returning as recently as last month.
