Overview
- Negotiations were first reported by ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez, and no agreement has been announced.
- Rendon is owed about $38 million in 2026, the final season of his seven-year, $245 million contract.
- He missed all of 2025 after February hip surgery, and the GM said in October he had not resumed baseball activities.
- A settlement is expected to include deferred payments and would open a 40-man roster spot for the offseason.
- Rendon’s Angels tenure featured limited availability and value—roughly 3.9 WAR—while the club pursues a new everyday third baseman with Yoán Moncada and Luis Rengifo now free agents.
