#1 - Anthony Rendon; 7 years, $245 million. Under contract for 2 more years and $77,142,856 (the deal includes a no-trade clause)

What is there even left to be said about Rendon's contract at this point? The Angels are just watching the clock at this point waiting for the contract to expire. Rendon is once again mired an injury-riddled season, and his performance on the field has reached new lows in another lost season in Anaheim.

Many thought a move to full-time DH would help him stay on the field and perform, after Shohei Ohtani departed in free agency. Perhaps Perry Minasian will end up cutting Rendon, and set up some deferred payments so as to maximize the Angels' ability to deploy a more competitive roster next year? It's just not going to happen for Rendon and the Angels.
