In a BLATANT admission of a $245 MILLION FRAUD, the Los Angeles Angels are finally cutting ties with the phantom known as Anthony Rendon. This isn’t a simple buyout—it’s a SHOCKING confession that the entire system is BROKEN.
Sources reveal the team will DEFER the final $38 million year of his catastrophic contract, a COWARDLY financial trick to hide one of sports’ GREATEST HEISTS. Rendon, 35, will be STASHED on the injured list, a fitting end for a man who treated his career like a PART-TIME HOBBY.
This is MORE than a bad deal; it’s a SYMBOL of everything wrong with modern sports. A player collects a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS while appearing in just 257 games over SIX SEASONS. His stats with the Angels are a JOKE—fewer home runs and RBI than his single MONSTER year in 2019 that TRICKED the Angels into this NIGHTMARE.

Where does the accountability lie? With Rendon, who vanished after cashing the check? Or with the Angels’ executives, whose NEGLIGENCE bankrupted a franchise’s future? This SCANDAL proves that in today’s MLB, you can be paid NOT to play, and teams will just SHOVE the evidence down the memory hole with creative accounting.

The REPORTED “mutual agreement” that his playing days were over is a STAGGERING corporate lie—they’re not parting with a veteran; they’re erasing a $245 million MISTAKE and hoping you won’t notice. This is the UGLY TRUTH they don’t want you to see: the game isn’t about glory, it’s about laundering failure.
