Anthony Rendon’s time with the Los Angeles Angels has been marred by injuries and underperformance. Despite signing a massive contract in 2019, he’s struggled to stay on the field and hasn’t lived up to expectations.
Rendon’s 2020 season, where he finished 10th in AL MVP voting, now feels like a distant memory. Since then, he’s been plagued by injuries, missing significant time and failing to produce at the plate.
And now, the latest setback: Rendon is undergoing hip surgery and is expected to be out for a “long amount of time.” It’s uncertain if he’ll ever play for the Angels again.
This situation raises questions about Rendon’s commitment and whether the Angels should move on. They’ve made some significant offseason moves, signaling a desire to contend. Keeping Rendon on the roster, especially with his hefty contract and injury history, might not be the best path forward.
It’s a tough situation for both Rendon and the Angels. He’s a talented player who’s been hampered by injuries, and the Angels are a team trying to build a winner. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out and whether Rendon can ever recapture his All-Star form.
