Sánchez hasn’t resurfaced in the majors since the 2022 campaign and is merely emergency organizational depth at the Triple-A level entering his age-33 season. He batted .246/.357/.329 with four homers and nine steals in 120 games for Triple-A Salt Lake this past season.

Perdomo represents a worthwhile low-risk flyer for the Angels after making four relief appearances this past season for the division-rival Athletics. The hard-throwing 31-year-old lefty has compiled a robust 34.2 percent strikeout rate across 52 innings over 56 career appearances in the big leagues since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

Rivero is back in the fold as emergency catching depth for the Halos after getting into 11 games this past season, his first stint back in the majors since the 2022 campaign.

The Red Sox thought Grissom could be their long-term second baseman when they acquired him from the Braves for Chris Sale prior to the 2024 campaign, but he was often hurt and hit just .190 in 31 major league games during his two-year stint with the club. He’ll get a fresh start with the Angels, who have openings at second base and third base at the moment. If he makes the team, it could be at second, with top prospect Christian Moore moving to third or heading to Triple-A. If not, he’ll likely go on waivers, since he’s out of options.

Fellow youngsters Kyren Paris and Denzer Guzman are also working out in preparation of playing some third base. Moore, the eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft, has thus far only played second base as a pro. He isn’t guaranteed to open 2026 in the majors, but he did hit the ball harder as a rookie than his .198/.284/.370 line suggests.

The deal is now official. The Angels are rolling the metaphorical dice on the former Cy Young Award contender after he was non-tendered last month by the Braves. The 27-year-old’s fastball velocity and control never rebounded in 10 minor-league starts during his return from Tommy John surgery this past season and the Blue Jays ultimately cut ties with him on the eve of the postseason. It’s difficult to envision a realistic path back to fantasy relevance in Los Angeles, but he’ll likely open the year in their rotation and qualifies as a low-risk lottery ticket. Maybe the velocity never comes back. Maybe the command never stabilizes. Maybe the Angels are just the latest team hoping the laws of baseball physics bend for one more improbable resurrection.

Campero returns a week after being non-tendered. He’s hit .202/.272/.346 in 114 plate appearances for the Angels over the last two seasons, and even if he were to step up some offensively, his defense isn’t good enough to make him a quality reserve outfielder. On the other hand, the fact that he’s a capable third catcher is nice.

Rendon is due $38 million in the final season of a seven-year, $245 million contract that is on the very short list of the most ill-fated deals of all-time. The first six seasons saw him play in a total of 257 games, and he missed all of 2025 after hip surgery. Rendon, 35, is actually just a one-time All-Star, though he had three top-six NL MVP finishes during his time with the Nationals. It’s hard to remember now, but he also finished 10th in the AL MVP balloting in his initial year with the Angels, when he hit .286/.418/.491 during the shortened 2020 season. He’s since batted .231/.329/.336 with 13 homers in 863 plate appearances.

The 27-year-old right-hander was cut loose by the Twins last April after posting a 10.38 ERA and 2.54 WHIP over 4 1/3 innings at Triple-A St. Paul before finishing the season in the Mexican League. Ynoa hasn’t been the same pitcher since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2022, but perhaps the Angels can find a way to unlock his former potential.

Gaston was one of the top pitching prospects in Tampa Bay’s entire system a couple years ago — receiving a $2.6 million signing bonus as one of the top arms in the 2019 international signing class — before injuries derailed his career. The 23-year-old reliever posted a respectable 4.84 ERA and 89/47 K/BB ratio across 70 2/3 innings over 40 appearances last year between High-A Tri-City and Triple-A Salt Lake. He’s an interesting low-risk lottery ticket for the Angels.

Rodriguez, who was acquired by the Angels from the Orioles for Taylor Ward last night, had surgery in August to remove a bone spur from his elbow. “That was something that’s kind of lingered with me for about three or four years now,” he said Wednesday. “I’ve had them for a while and kind of just got to the point where I couldn’t really pitch through it. Pretty sure that’s kind of what was causing some of the lat injuries.” Rodriguez said he’d be good to go this spring. If so, he’ll almost certainly be a part of the Angels rotation.

Rodriguez has some obvious red flags from a durability standpoint, but it’s a lot harder to get a pitcher with his talent than it is a 30-homer outfielder with questionable on-base skills. Plus, Rodriguez is making the minimum and is under control for four more years, whereas Ward is due in the neighborhood of $13 million in his final season before free agency. The 26-year-old reached the majors in 2023 as one of the game’s very best pitching prospects, but he missed much of 2024 and then all of 2025 with shoulder and elbow issues. Coming off surgery to remove a bone spur, he is expected to be ready for spring training. Overall, Rodriguez is 20-8 with a 4.11 ERA and a 259/78 K/BB in 238 2/3 innings as a major leaguer. If healthy, he’ll join Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Soriano and likely Reid Detmers in an Angels rotation that still needs at least one more starter.

Laweryson, a 2019 14th-round pick, made his major league debut in September and allowed one earned run and no walks in 7 2/3 innings for the Twins. He’s not a very hard thrower at 91-95 mph, but he’s solid relief depth for the Angels.

First-time manager Kurt Suzuki will have a wealth of experience to draw upon from one of the best pitching coaches in the league as Maddux will be leaving the Rangers to join the Halos. Under Maddux, the Rangers’ staff finished with the best ERA in baseball in 2025. He had been expected to reprise his role under new manager Skip Schumaker, but the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a contract.

Pujols was believed to be the favorite for the Angels job this offseason, but they ultimately decided to go with Kurt Suzuki instead. Padres pitching coach Ruben Niebla and bench coach Brian Esposito are the only other candidates believed to have interviewed with the club at this juncture. It doesn’t sound like anything is imminent as San Diego searches for Mike Shildt’s replacement, but Pujols appears to be a serious candidate to fill the void.

Kieboom, 28, can elect free agency, and almost assuredly will. The former top prospect was brought up to end the season with Los Angeles, and profiles as nothing more than organizational depth at this stage of his career.

The hiring is now official. No word yet on the financial terms or length of the contract. Suzuki, who has zero professional managerial or coaching experience, takes over at the helm for Los Angeles after the club moved on from veteran skipper Ron Washington after two seasons. The 42-year-old former major leaguer wrapped up a 16-year career in the majors back in 2022 and spent the last three seasons as a special assistant to Angels general manager Perry Minsasian. He takes over a squad that has posted 10 consecutive losing seasons and hasn’t qualified for the postseason since 2014.

It’s been a whirlwind few hours for the Angels with both Albert Pujols and now Hunter no longer in the mix to replace Ron Washington. At this point the leading candidate appears to be Kurt Suzuki, who is currently a special assistant with the club. There hasn’t been a ton of reporting regarding any external candidates.

Incredible, especially given that Pujols is already an Angels employee under the terms of his personal services contract that was part of his 10-year, $240 million deal with the club as a player. Pujols is still in the mix for the jobs in San Diego and Baltimore, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The Angels are still considering Torii Hunter and Kurt Suzuki and have wanted to interview Brandon Hyde and Rocco Baldelli, though things seemed to be on hold during the Pujols negotiations.

Pujols has reportedly been the favorite to become the manager of the Los Angeles Angels, but they will have some competition. The former big league star has no managerial experience, but that didn’t stop another former player, Stephen Vogt from winning AL Manager of the Year in his first season as a manager. Pujols figures to be one of the most discussed managerial candidates of the off-season.

Pujols is considered one of the favorites to land the managerial job, but the 45-year-old faces some other candidates; including former outfielder Torii Hunter. The future Hall of Famer will likely have a more formal interview in the coming weeks, but it shouldn’t shock anyone if Pujols is announced as the team’s new skipper before the start of the winter.

Hunter has spent the last two seasons as a special assistant in Los Angeles’ front office working with general manager Perry Minasian, who is entering the final season of his contract. The 50-year-old former big leaguer played 19 seasons in the majors, including a half-decade run with the Angels from 2008-2012, and was a five-time All-Star selection. His connections to the organization, and reported close relationship with Halos owner Arte Moreno, make him a serious candidate for the position following skipper Ron Washington’s dismissal. The other big name that has surfaced is Hall of Famer Albert Pujols, who is considered the leading candidate at the moment.

Minasian did note that he would prefer to do it as quickly as possible, but wouldn’t give any sort of timeline or self-imposed deadline on when he wanted it to be done by. With so many managerial vacancies around the league, those who act quick will have access to a much larger and more qualified pool of candidates. The Rangers already struck first by hiring Skip Schumaker on Friday.

The 26-year-old southpaw did a nice job out of the Halos’ bullpen in 2025, registering a 3.96 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and an 80/25 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 innings of work in 61 appearances. Ultimately, his ceiling is much higher for fantasy purposes if he’s pitching in the rotation as is his value to the Angels, so this seems like a win for everyone.

It’s never a great sign when a pitching prospect is shut down with elbow issues, but a precautionary MRI didn’t reveal any structural damage. The 21-year-old right-hander was a surprising choice back in July when the Angels made him the second-overall selection in the MLB Draft. He didn’t pitch at all after being drafted and appears unlikely to ramp up his throwing program until later in the offseason.

It’s now official that Washington’s tenure in Los Angeles is over following a team statement. The 73-year-old skipper took a leave of absence in late June to undergo a quadruple bypass procedure and never returned. He went 135-189 (.417) in his two seasons at the helm in his first managerial opportunity since leading the Rangers for eight years from 2007-2014.

A clean slate is probably best here. It’s rough that Washington loses his job after heart surgery, but given how he performed in 2024, bringing him back for 2025 was a mistake prior to the health problems.

Aldegheri gave up two homers, five additional hits, three walks and also hit two batters, so it’s pretty amazing that he allowed just four runs. His ERA actually dropped slightly to 7.90 in two starts and two relief appearances. The 24-year-old will probably open next season in Triple-A, though as much as the Angels hate having pitching prospects at Salt Lake, a return to Double-A is possible.
