It’s that time of the season again, and Anthony Rendon has announced his injury. It’s not the first time Rendon has done this, but it’s the first consecutive season that the slugger will miss a significant amount of time. Angels fans are beyond frustrated, as Rendon is expected to have hip surgery.
Rendon’s stint with the Angles has been a terrible disaster. The third baseman has hardly played for the team since his contract. The Angels agreed to a $245 million deal for seven years. Rendon was supposed to enter his sixth year. As usual, just before the regular season, the slugger will need to undergo surgery.
In the past four seasons with the Angels, Anthony Rendon played only 205 games. His contract with the team has been a total loss, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Here’s a look at what MLB fans have to say.
“There is no greater bandit than Anthony Rendon,” one fan responded.

“He’s been hustling the Angels all along. Absolutely no surprise he pulls this right before the season starts,” another fan replied.

Anthony Rendon’s Prime Is Over With The Washington Nationals
Rendon had a great stint with the Washington Nationals, helping them win the World Series. The Angels signed him during his prime, hoping to make the best of the deal. However, it turns out that his prime is already over.
Since joining the Angels, Rendon’s career has been nothing but a steady decline. At 35, it’s hard for the slugger to get back to his prime years, especially with several injuries. With just one year remaining in Los Angeles, the chances of him getting back on track are pretty slim.
Anthony Rendon has not been a fan of playing 162 games in a season. He’s expressed his disinterest before. Angels fans are unhappy with his progress. From the trade part, Nick Pivetta has secured a deal with the Padres, and fans are trolling the team.
