Logan O\u2019Hoppe apparently seems very pleased to be out of Anaheim.<\/p>\n
The Texas Rangers<\/a> catcher O\u2019Hoppe addressed reporters this week after being promoted to the MLB roster. During his media session, O\u2019Hoppe spoke negatively about his time with the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>, his old team.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t like the dude in the mirror on or off the field,\u201d said O\u2019Hoppe, per Rangers Nation<\/a>. \u201cIt was the hardest four years of my baseball life over there. It taught me a lot, and I\u2019m really grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n O\u2019Hoppe, 26, spent the first four-and-a-half seasons of his MLB career with the Angels. He peaked in 2024 with 20 home runs and 56 RBIs but regressed badly after that, batting a lousy .209 with four home runs and 23 RBIs this season before finally getting traded to the Rangers in late July.<\/p>\n The Angels also experienced a whole lot of losing during O\u2019Hoppe\u2019s time there. Now the owners of MLB\u2019s longest active playoff drought, the Angels have not even produced a single winning season since 2015 and are now 52-79 this season (second-worst in the American League).<\/p>\n On top of that, the Angels have dealt with plenty of organizational dysfunction in recent years. Among many other issues, the franchise has experienced embarrassing cost-cutting measures<\/a>, some very ill-fated free agent additions<\/a>, and even rodent infestations in their home stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Logan O\u2019Hoppe apparently seems very pleased to be out of Anaheim.
