Even the historic season of Shohei Ohtani was not enough to end the Los Angeles Angels seven-season playoff drought alive.
In mid-May, the Angels cut Albert Pujols and lost perennial MVP candidate Mike Trout to injury. They have responded by playing winning baseball since
Shohei Ohtani is now fully healed from the Tommy John surgery that limited him exclusively to designated hitter the past two seasons. The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher took the mound at Yankee Stadium yesterday afternoon for his 12th game started this year.
Los Angeles Angels second-year pitching coach Mickey Callaway has been on leave since February 1. Wednesday afternoon Major League Baseball concluded their four-month investigation in the matter by placing him on the Ineligible List.
Mike Trout will miss 6-8 weeks with a calf strain. What does that mean for the Angels and how terrible is it to lose the best player in all of baseball?
Just hours before the first pitch of their 60th Opening Day, the Los Angeles Angels agreed to terms on a contract extension for one of their brightest young stars.
The Los Angeles Angels bullpen’s fourteen blown saves in 2020 were the most in Major League Baseball. First-year general manager Perry Minasian non-tendered most eligible relief pitchers in November. Acquired Cincinnati Reds closer Raisel Iglesias for Noe Ramirez in December and continued grabbing veterans this winter. Alex Claudio, Junior Guerra, and Alex Slegers were among the notable relievers added going into Spring Training.
Angels owner Arte Moreno has spent just under two decades of his Angels ownership unafraid of making investments. When the Angels acquired Justin Upton and extended him to a 5-year, $106 million contract, it was not a surprise.
Shohei Ohtani arrived with much anticipation as a two-way superstar from Japan prior to the 2018 season. The young right-hander dazzled on the mound every Sunday.
Mike Trout’s talent is being wasted right now. He is clearly the greatest player in baseball of this generation and deserves a deep playoff run. There are several reasons why, a majority of them being all the impressive accolades Trout has added up so far.
The Los Angeles Angels have the best player in the world in Mike Trout but still aren’t good enough to go on a playoff run. They do, however, have some solid prospects on the way that could hopefully help Trout find some success. Their top five include depth pieces in their infield, outfield, and pitching rotation.
Several certainties come to mind immediately when it comes to Albert Pujols as he embarks on the 2021 season. It is potentially his final one in an Angels uniform, or any uniform, for that matter.
