Another later-inning reliever is off the board, though it’s not one who is changing teams. Emilio Pagan is sticking with the Reds on a very healthy deal: Free-agent right-hander Emilio Pagán back to Reds, pending physical. Story with @ctrent : https://t.co/Ns0Mwc2rPA — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 4, 2025 Two years and $20 million for Pagan, AND he gets an opt out in-between the two years. So he’s getting the same deal as Ryan Helsley, but just a little less cas...

Devin Williams’ contract with the Mets was still the buzz yesterday, as there weren’t many other notable moves unless you still believe in Alek Manoah (who signed with the Angels) or are a big believer in Cody Ponce’s KBO revival (he went to the Blue Jays). The Ponce one should be interesting though, as he […]

Maybe your first instinct when reading the title of this post will be the same as mine when first contemplating the idea of writing about the subject. Jo Adell is a young player who the Angels surely will want to keep hold of for their long-term—but, well, it isn’t quite so simple. Adell will be […]

Before Dave Dombrowski became the President of Baseball Operations of the Philadelphia Phillies, rumors were swirling about what his future might hold. We all know that he joined a project to try and bring an MLB expansion team to Nashville but there can always be an itch for running a baseball team. What team scratched […]

Anthony Rendon’s disastrous Angels tenure is finally over. Reports have come out that Rendon and the Angels are in talks to buyout the final year of his 7-year $245 million contract. He was such a great player with the Nats, but things did not work in LA due to injuries and Rendon’s prickly attitude. Unfortunately, […]

Last week, I wrote about how Cardinals legend Albert Pujols was brought up in the Eric Kay trial. An ex-Angels club employee allegedly had videos of Pujols making Kay do dares such as being hit on the knee with a 90-mph fastball. The former employee also testified that Pujols was paying kay to do the […]

Yesterday we discussed the recent report that the Phillies could be fits for the Angels’ Jo Adell and Taylor Ward. We started with breaking down Adell’s profile and the possibility he could be the Phillies target. Today, we’ll look at the other right-handed hitting corner outfielder in Anaheim. If it feels like Taylor Ward’s name […]

The MLB offseason is ever so slowly lurching to life, and that means trade rumors are starting to rear their head. Last week, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported that the Los Angeles Angels are considering trading outfielders Jo Adell and/or Taylor Ward and Morosi specifically mentioned the Phillies as a possibility. The Phillies are in […]

Folks who know me well may know that I typically have about 30 to 50 tabs open on my computer at any given time (sadly, not an exaggeration (current count: 43)). There’s just always stuff I want to read, stuff I might want to include in a post, and stuff that might later trigger a new post idea. One tab I’ve had open for weeks is Angels outfielder Jo Adell’s FanGraphs page . At the end of the season, I was just kinda trolling around looking at season performances I hadn’t noticed as they ...

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article first appeared here Nov. 6, 2024, when Kyle Hendricks signed with the Angels. With the news of his retirement, I thought you’d enjoy reading it again. It’s been updated to include his 2025 season. One thing to remember about Kyle Hendricks’ mostly good-to-great 11 seasons in a Cubs uniform is that […]

By now, I think almost everybody knows what’s going on with the Angels and the trial of Eric Kay, who is serving 22 years in prison for allegedly supplying a fentanyl-laced pill that resulted in left-hander Tyler Skaggs’ death in 2019. The shocking incident took place just a week after the Cardinals had finished a […]

Tonight was game four, but actually the fifth complete nine innings of baseball in this series. The Jays didn’t look as tired as I feel, though, with a convincing win thanks to solid pitching and steady offence up and down the lineup. Eight of the nine starters reached base and they outhit LA 11-6. The […]

Even as the biggest news of late in the sports world is the gambling/rigging/literally-the-mafia-connected NBA scandal , it’s not as if the other major professional sports leagues have been untouched by sports betting-related concerns in recent years. In Major League Baseball, for example, you had the friend and interpreter for the sport’s biggest star going to prison for crimes related to a sports betting operation, funded primarily by stealing from Shohei Ohtani.
