LOS ANGELES ANGELS

The Angels have endured three consecutive losing seasons, finishing 63-99 in 2024, 72-90 in 2025, and now sitting last in the AL West in 2026. Shortstop Zach Neto has emerged as the team's top player with back-to-back 5+ WAR seasons in 2024-25, raising collector interest in his cards, while catcher Logan O'Hoppe's value cooled after a difficult 2025 following his solid 20-homer 2024 campaign. Jo Adell's breakout 37-homer 2025 briefly spiked his market before the team traded him in August 2026 as part of a sell-off that also moved starter José Soriano and reliever Ryan Zeferjahn for prospects.

Where they stand: The Angels hired Kurt Suzuki as manager for 2026 after firing Ron Washington mid-season in 2025, but results remain dire with a 43-71 record through early August, 15 games out of first place. The organization embraced a full rebuild at the August trade deadline, shipping Soriano to Toronto for top prospect Arjun Nimmala and dealing Adell, Kirby Yates, and others for young talent. Neto remains the cornerstone, with the team banking on bounce-back seasons from O'Hoppe and first baseman Nolan Schanuel.
