Former All-Star Tim Anderson Signs Minor League Deal with Angels

The 31-year-old shortstop and former batting champion looks to revive his career after two challenging seasons.

Tim Anderson, a two-time All-Star and 2019 batting champion, has signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels, according to reports.
The Angels have not confirmed the deal, but Anderson is expected to participate in spring training as a potential infield depth option.
Anderson struggled over the past two seasons, hitting .214 with the Miami Marlins in 2024 and being released midseason, following a decline in his offensive and defensive performance.
The Angels are addressing infield depth concerns due to injuries to key players, including shortstop Zach Neto, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
Manager Ron Washington, known for his expertise in coaching infielders, could play a key role in helping Anderson regain form and contribute to the Angels' roster.
