These 2 Contracts are Holding the LA Angels Back Right Now
“Anthony Rendon and Justin Upton have played very inconsistently with the LA Angels after signing big deals. As for Rendon, he signed a $245 million deal over seven years. That’s an average of $35 million per year. In his first season with the Angels, he played well, but didn’t earn that type of payday. He had,” reports Evan Desai in Halo Hangout.
“The issue was, he wasn’t producing many runs, either by scoring them himself or driving them in. He only hit nine home runs and he only drove in 31. He only scored 29 times. I know it was of course a very shortened season that year, but that would equate to just about 24 home runs and 83 or 84 RBI with about 78 runs scored over a full.”
