The Los Angeles Angels missed the postseason for a 10th straight season after finishing with a record of 63-99 and last in the American League West.
Since 2009, the Angels have made one postseason appearance, which resulted in them being swept in the American League Division Series.
The tough stretch comes despite having one of the best players in MLB on their roster, Mike Trout, although his injury issues have been a bit of a problem.
It appears the Angels are trying to be aggressive this offseason as they have acquired a few notable players including pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, outfielder Jorge Soler and catcher Travis d’Arnaud.
MLB insider Ken Rosenthal recently revealed what he expects from the Angels for the rest of the offseason.
“I believe they are in play for a number of free agents right now,” Rosenthal said, via Foul Territory.

Rosenthal appears to believe that the Angels are committed to trying to get the team back to a competitive level in 2025.
While some people think the Angels should have taken a step back and started a rebuild, it doesn’t appear that is the route they want to take.
Rosenthal said he expects the Angels to make some moves with the weeks remaining in the offseason, and they will likely need more help if they want to compete for an AL West title.
The Angels haven’t won the division since 2014, which was the last year they made a postseason appearance.
