Anthony Rendon<\/a>\u2019s disappointing tenure with the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> is at an end.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Sam Blum reports<\/a> the team and the 35-year-old third baseman have agreed to a buyout that will end his time with the team.<\/p>\n

Rendon was set to earn $38 million in 2026, the final year of a seven-year, $245 million contract.<\/p>\n

Blum notes that Rendon\u2019s remaining payment will be deferred in the three-to-five-year range.<\/p>\n

The Houston native missed the entirety of the 2025 season after undergoing hip surgery and it remains unclear if he intends to continue his career.<\/p>\n

Rendon signed his deal with the Angels coming off of a career year in 2019 when he finished third in National League Most Valuable Player voting and helped lead the Washington Nationals<\/a> to the franchise\u2019s first World Series title. With eight hits, two home runs and eight runs batted in, Rendon was named World Series MVP in the Nats\u2019 seven-game series win over the Houston Astros<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Rendon\u2019s six years with the Angels were riddled by injuries with the player missing at least 100 games per season from 2020 to 2024.<\/p>\n

In 257 games with the team, Rendon batted .242 with 224 hits, 22 home runs, 125 runs batted in and a .727 OPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Rendon\u2019s disappointing tenure with the Los Angeles Angels is at an end.
