Angels GM Challenges Anthony Rendon to Prove His Worth for 2025

After years of injuries and underperformance, Rendon's starting role with the Los Angeles Angels is uncertain.

Anthony Rendon, once a key player for the Angels, has struggled with injuries, playing fewer than 60 games each season since 2021.
Rendon signed a seven-year, $245 million contract in 2020 but has failed to meet expectations, contributing to the Angels' recent poor performance.
Angels GM Perry Minasian has publicly stated that Rendon must demonstrate he can still compete at a high level to secure a starting position.
The team acknowledges Rendon's potential impact when healthy, but his recent statistics have been disappointing, with only two home runs in the past two seasons.
Possible lineup changes include exploring other options at third base, such as moving Luis Rengifo, as the Angels seek more reliable contributions.
