Los Angeles Angels offseason news, rumors, 2023 payroll, and more
The Los Angeles Angels are coming off another disappointing season where they won just 73 games and missed the postseason for the eighth consecutive year.
Perry Minasian has already announced that Shohei Ohtani isn't going anywhere before Opening Day so big moves have to be made if the Angels want to compete and keep Ohtani in Anaheim long-term.
The Angels have a very interesting offseason ahead with a lot of question marks. Will Arte Moreno sell the team? If not, how much is he willing to spend? How will the Angels address the question marks with the pitching staff? Who will play left field?
These questions I do not have an answer to but we'll make it as easy as possible for you to keep up with all the information you'll need about the Angels offseason. Below is our tracker for all things Angels including payroll info, transactions, rumors, and more.
