It’s going to take a lot more than Ron Washington’s enthusiasm to fix Angels

Ron Washington and Perry Minasian smile during a news conference at Angel Stadium. The grand spectacle of the event feels forced, reflecting an absence of genuine excitement for the upcoming season. And why should there be any enthusiasm? Rendon and Trout’s contracts don’t expire for another three years.

The payroll gaps and their inadequacies in pitching and farm systems make significant roster changes unlikely. The success of the Angels hinges on the continued health of Rendon and Trout and the hesitant return of Ohtani.

The recent achievements of Washington and his past personal issues, while discussed, are just small details in the grand scheme of owner Arte Moreno looking for “the inside-out syndrome.” The Angels can continue to hope for a change of fate, but with an aging population and a new manager itching for a comeback, what will be the outcome of another tumultuous season?
