The Los Angeles Angels could be losing one of their key players, as Anthony Rendon is expected to retire, according to ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.
“NEWS: The Angels and Anthony Rendon are in talks about buying out the final year of his contract, according to a source. The expectation is that he will retire,” Gonzalez wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
This move could bring a resolution to his seven-year, $245 million deal, especially after he spent the entire 2025 season recovering from hip surgery. He’s owed $38 million in 2026, and it looks as if he’s bought out, he will defr part of the money, which will help the Angels as far as keep financial flexibility.
