Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani has been marvelous in the 2021 season. He is dealing on the mound, he is crushing baseballs, and he is just been an absolute joy to watch. Ohtani has even made an appearance or two in the outfield for the Angels. However, something might be brewing, as he was […]

The Los Angeles Angels recently released Albert Pujols, who was well past his prime. The Halos still have two brilliant baseball players.

An era officially came to an end on Thursday when the Los Angeles Angels designated future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols for assignment. The 10-time All-Star wasn’t happy with the lack of playing time which led to the Angels letting him go. Mike Trout has played alongside Pujols since 2012, when the Dominican was in […]

Los Angeles Angels pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has been the gem of the baseball world since bringing his talents to the Major Leagues. As the rarity of a combo player like Ohtani is unheard of, he should own a lot of records and continue to be part of MLB history. This latest one […]

Albert Pujols wants to finish his Hall of Fame career with the St. Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately for The Machine, that dream reunion is unlikely to come to fruition. Pujols was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angeles on Thursday — two months into the final season of a 10-year contract. The 41-year old will […]

Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols is done with the Los Angeles Angels, and now everybody is wondering if he’ll end up with another team or if he’ll wind up retiring. Naturally, a return to the St. Louis Cardinals is on the mind of many, including Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal. The St. Louis native […]

Is there anything Shohei Ohtani can’t do? One night after returning to the mound to toss four scoreless innings after failing to pitch the previous two weeks due to a blister issue, the two-way phenom stepped into the batter’s box and crushed a ball into the right-field stands for the Los Angeles Angels. He hit […]

These two teams possess […]

Scary scene for Los Angeles Angels fans as Shohei Ohtani had to leave their matchup against the Chicago White Sox. The dual-threat wonder took the brunt of a nasty slide at home plate from reigning American League MVP Jose Abreu. Look away, Angels fans. Here’s the slide in question: Shohei Ohtani was forced to leave […]

We’re not saying that Shohei Ohtani is Superman, but we are saying he’s close. The Los Angeles Angels phenom not only threw the fastest pitch recorded in the season thus far, but he also hit the hardest home run of any player in the Majors through the first four games of the season. Oh, and he did […]

Albert Pujols has spent years hitting home runs for the Los Angeles Angels (and before that, with the St. Louis Cardinals), but the 2021 season will be his final season in the MLB.

It’s mid-January, and Trevor Bauer is still a free agent. Bauer, who won the Cy Young award last season, is the best starting pitcher remaining on the market. With the hot stove heating up, two teams have reportedly emerged as the front-runners to land the 30-year old right-hander, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand,  the New York […]

The 2020 MLB Winter Meetings officially began on Monday, and the Los Angeles Angels have struck one of the first big trades of the offseason.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons made an interesting decision on Tuesday as the 31-year-old Curaçao native announced he’s opting out of the remainder of the 2020 Major League Baseball season. Simmons, a four-time Gold Glove winner for his defensive prowess at shortstop, is leaving the Angels with only five games to spare in the […]

A recent MLB proposal has left players outraged, as the deep salary cuts would affect all players but especially the highest-paid stars. Take Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout for example — the highest-paid player in 2020. Trout would  make $5,748,577 of his $37,666,666 full-fledged salary under a proposed 82-game season. That equates to […]

With the market of top-tier free agents seemingly dwindling down, teams are going to be forced to go the extra mile to sign them, and it seems as though the Los Angeles Angels, among other teams, are finding that out first hand. While they have been included in most starting pitcher rumors the entirety of […]

With the Los Angeles Angels having made one major splash in free agency with the signing of Anthony Rendon, their failed pursuit of a second, Gerrit Cole and Madison Bumgarner, has made them look a different direction. According to Jon Morosi, the Angels are highly motivated to make a move to upgrade their starting pitching, […]

The Los Angeles Angels finally gave Mike Trout a legitimate co-star by signing Anthony Rendon to a seven-year, $245 million contract during the Winter Meetings. While Rendon said that he and his family considered a number of options, he was ultimately swayed by general manager Billy Eppler’s assertions that the Angels were still looking to […]

With the centerpiece of the franchise re-signing for what seems to be his final contract before retiring, the Los Angeles Angels have to be happy. They made it through countless years of struggling, stinking, and middling performances, and were still able to retain their best player, Mike Trout, for the long haul. But with the […]

The Los Angeles Angels came into the MLB offseason looking to make some major splashes to help power them back to contention.

The New York Yankees won the biggest prize of the MLB offseason on Tuesday night, striking a nine-year, $324 million deal with ace right-hander Gerrit Cole.

Money talks and the New York Yankees are normally the team starting that conversation. With Gerrit Cole on the other end of that phone call, things are looking like they are about to get real serious for the best remaining starting pitcher on the open market. A trio of industry baseball writers, MLB Network insider […]

After having served only as the team’s designated hitter in 2019, Los Angeles Angels’ two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani has been cleared to throw off of a pitching mound again, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Angels general manager Billy Eppler stated these thoughts on Tuesday to the media, which creates a bit of buzz surrounding […]

The New York Yankees want free-agent right-handed ace Gerrit Cole, but they seem to be under the assumption that Cole doesn’t really want them. Not as much as he wants a certain other American League team on the opposite coast, anyway. During an appearance on MLB Tonight on Monday, MLB Network insider Jon Heyman said […]

Los Angeles Angels centerfielder Mike Trout won his third American League MVP Award on Thursday night in an extremely close race. Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman finished in second place after earning 13 first-place votes (Trout had 17), and Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien rounded out the finalists in third. 2019 AL MVP: Mike […]

When the Chicago Cubs hired Joe Maddon as their manager ahead of the 2015 campaign, they hoped he would help them return to the promise land for the first time in over a century. Maddon did just that, leading the Cubs to a World Series during his second season at the helm, representing Chicago’s first […]

By all accounts, the 2019 season was supposed to be the last year of Ben Zobrist’s career. The veteran utility man entered the final year of his contract with the Chicago Cubs as a two-time World Series champion and a World Series MVP. Given that he would turn 38 in May, it seemed likely he […]

The Los Angeles Angels have been busy over the course of the past few offseasons. They locked up superstar outfielder Mike Trout to a record-breaking deal last winter, and they recently hired veteran manager Joe Maddon to steer the team into the future.
