Anthony Rendon's Angels Tenure Ends with Contract Buyout; Retirement Expected

Anthony Rendon and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed to restructure the remainder of his contract, officially ending his tenure with a buyout. Rendon, 35, had one year and $38 million remaining on his seven-year, $245 million deal, which will be deferred. Recovering from hip surgery, Rendon is expected to retire once the buyout is official. He never played more than 58 games in five seasons with the Angels after signing before the 2020 season, slashing .242/.348/.369 and failing to meet expectations.
