The Los Angeles Angels have made a lot of changes from 2024 to 2025 to ensure that they get as far from last season's franchise worst 99-loss mark as possible.

One of the ways the team attempted to do so was by various free agency moves and trades to bring in new talent. An insider revealed that an eight-time All-Star, however, declined to be traded to the team this offseason, using his no-trade clause.

Additionally, the Halos have a major update on the knee injury of Nolan Schanuel. After fouling a ball off of his knee in the fourth inning of an eventual loss to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday, the first baseman provided more insight on his current health.
