The Los Angeles Angels don’t have a consistent third baseman on their roster since Yoan Moncada is a free agent, and Anthony Rendon’s future has a significant impact on the franchise. <\/p>\n
The Angels are expected to spend a significant amount of money in free agency, primarily focusing on pitching upgrades, but the lineup has numerous holes that require a revamp of resources. <\/p>\n
One potential roster upgrade the Angels could consider is trading for third baseman Nolan Arenado, who has two years remaining on his contract. <\/p>\n
More news:\u00a0Angels Legend to Manage Pro Team in Southern California MLB.com’s Mike Petriello <\/a>explored potential deals involving Arenado, and he listed the Angels as his top fit for the infielder. <\/p>\n “This might be it. This might be the spot. The Angels, 72-90 last year and having missed the playoffs for the past 11 seasons, might not be an obvious landing spot for a player hoping to find a contender,” Petriello said. <\/a><\/p>\n “But they continue to operate as though they are, and the addition of Grayson Rodriguez surely opened some eyes across the sport. With Anthony Rendon completely out of the mix, the Angels had baseball\u2019s third base situation in 2025, a last-place ranking they\u2019re projected to repeat in 2026. <\/p>\n “Although Arenado grew up in Southern California as a Dodgers fan, he attended high school in Lake Forest, which is far closer to Angel Stadium than it is Dodger Stadium. If he wants to get back home, he\u2019ll never have a better chance than this.”<\/p>\n
