The Los Angeles Angels are planning for another season without infielder Anthony Rendon.

Rendon, who signed a seven-year, $245 million deal with the Angels after the 2019 season, is set to undergo hip surgery and has no timetable for a return.

The Athletic's Sam Blum reported Rendon is expected to miss the entire 2025 season.

With Rendon under team control for just this year and next, some MLB insiders have speculated that his playing career could be over.

If Rendon were to retire, it would save the Angels a lot of money as he's still owed $38.5 million per year over the next two seasons.

In other Angels news, a former Angels reliever has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for spring training.

He spent the beginning of the 2024 season with the Halos, and netted the team a huge haul of prospects ahead of the trade deadline.
