Anthony Rendon has officially entered free agency, marking the conclusion of his seven-year, $245 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels. The contract, the largest ever signed by the team in free agency, came after Rendon helped the Washington Nationals win the 2019 World Series.

Over his first five seasons in Los Angeles, Rendon played in just 257 games, hitting a .242 average with 125 home runs and 125 RBIs. He was forced to miss the entire 2025 season due to left hip surgery and also skipped the entire 2026 season. At 35 years old, with two years left before retirement, Rendon's future remains uncertain, and it is unclear if he will attract serious suitors in the free agency market.
The Angels, meanwhile, are free to focus on another rebuild following their disappointing 62-100 season.
