Angels Discuss Anthony Rendon Buyout as Retirement Nears

The Angels are negotiating a buyout of Rendon’s final contract year, per ESPN, potentially ending a seven-year $245 million deal that never paid off. The 35-year-old, who missed 2025 after hip surgery, is expected to retire. He’s owed $38 million for 2026 but could defer part of it, giving the Angels extra payroll flexibility after years of injuries and frustration.
