Overview

  • Rendon is not expected to play in 2026 and will continue rehabbing, with no formal retirement planned, according to multiple reports.
  • The remaining 2026 salary will be paid over roughly three to five years, with exact terms undisclosed and subject to MLB and MLBPA rules on deferrals.
  • He remains on the roster for now, but the Angels can place him on the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot.
  • The move creates spending room this winter; reports note the Angels have already agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with reliever Kirby Yates.
  • Rendon appeared in 257 games for the Angels and hit .242 with 22 home runs and 125 RBIs after signing a seven-year, $245 million contract in 2019.
