The Los Angeles Angels did not have a successful 2024 to say the least. Seeing their Los Angeles counterparts, about 30 miles away down the I-5 freeway, spend big and have it pay off in October, it is no question that the Angels would want to open up the check book after a 63-99 season….
Few things matter more to Caleb Williams’ future and the Bears‘ chances of climbing out of the NFC North basement than fortifying the offensive line. During his rookie season, Williams absorbed 68 sacks, which limited his ability to build confidence in the pocket and severely disrupted any chance for the Bears’ offense to get going in the…

The Los Angeles Angels agreed to a minor league contract with left-handed pitcher A.J. Block.

If the…
In a shocking twist, the Los Angeles Angels are the newest team to emerge as a suitor for San Diego Padres free agent reliever Tanner Scott. On Monday, Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report identified the Los Angeles Angels as the top contender to sign Scott, with Spotrac projecting a four-year, $66 million deal for the…
The Los Angeles Angels have had an eventful offseason thus far. After some bad luck with injuries and overall underwhelming production in the 2024 campaign, the Angels finished 63-99. In a clear attempt to address major pitching issues, the Halos signed southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to a three-year, $63 million deal and right-hander Kyle Hendricks to…
Former Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais will be sharing a spring training facility with his former employer as he joined the San Diego Padres in a new role. Servais will serve as a special assistant in player development, the San Diego Union-Tribune confirmed. Over nine seasons with Seattle, Servais posted a 680-642 record, including two…
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Randy Vásquez had his fair share of struggles in 2024, pitching to a 4.87 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP across 98 innings. Furthermore, the 26-year-old right-hander posted the worst strikeout rate among all starting pitchers (minimum 90 innings). That and other poor peripherals paint a discouraging picture of Vasquez’s profile….
