Simulating the next decade of baseball with MLB The Show

Simulating games in a 162-game season, complete with minor league matchups and free-agency and draft elements, is nothing new to players. With MLB considering a new playoff format and some influential free-agency periods in the years to come, we wanted to know what the big leagues will look like 10 years from now, and we […]

Anthony Rendon goes 2-for-2 in Angels debut

Rendon went 2-for-2 in his spring training debut with the Los Angeles Angels, driving in a run and scoring one Tuesday during a 7-3 win over Cincinnati. Back from spending time with his wife and newborn child, the All-Star third baseman played three innings in the field. “It’s inevitable. You’ve got to get out there […]

The other fantasy fallout from Boston’s big trade

Joc Pederson, dealt by the Dodgers to the Los Angeles Angels in a separate, yet related, transaction (straight-up for infielder Luis Rengifo), is the most interesting name on the move. Pederson, whose 36 home runs and .319 isolated power against right-handers in 2019 both ranked in the top five in baseball, should immediately take over […]

Angels acquire OF Joc Pederson from Dodgers, sources say

Pederson, 27, hit .249 with 36 home runs and 74 RBIs last year for the Dodgers. Pederson, like Betts, is a free agent after this season. But for one season, at least, Pederson will join superstar Mike Trout in an Angels outfield that also includes Justin Upton. Rengifo, 22, batted .238 with seven home runs […]

The end of the lefty specialist? Why MLB’s three-batter rule might not mean what you think

It’s fortunate for Perez that the deal was signed when it was, late last January. Two weeks later, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that in 2020, Major League Baseball would likely require pitchers to face three batters, or get the final out of an inning, before they could be removed. Perez had 22 outings in 2019 […]

Anthony Rendon on not choosing Dodgers: L.A.’s ‘Hollywood lifestyle’ not a fit

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Dodgers approached this year’s winter meetings with striking aggression but nonetheless whiffed on the two biggest prizes in free agency. They offered Gerrit Cole a contract that reached $300 million but watched him join the New York Yankees on a record deal. They expressed interest in Anthony Rendon but […]

What will the Angels do now after missing out on Gerrit Cole?

SAN DIEGO — The past five years, the average win total needed to earn a playoff spot in the American League has rounded out to 91. For the Los Angeles Angels, striving to launch themselves into legitimate contention as quickly as possible, that means finding 19 more wins in one offseason. Teams have done it […]

Angels’ quest to win now begins with Anthony Rendon

SAN DIEGO — It was nearly a decade ago that the Los Angeles Angels missed out on the third baseman they so desperately coveted. Their owner, Arte Moreno, made a strong push for Adrian Beltre following the 2010 season, only to see him choose the division-rival Texas Rangers. It proved to be a devastating blow. […]

Winter meetings takeaways from the San Diego spending spree

This year’s winter meetings wind down having delivered a historic explosion of expenditures. With contenders having paid top dollar, we asked Bradford Doolittle, Alden Gonzalez, Jesse Rogers and David Schoenfield for their takeaways from the industry-shaking events in San Diego. Schoenfield: Let’s not get carried away here. Cole is an amazing pitcher coming off a […]
