Angels sign Tim Anderson, J.D. Davis for roster depth

The Los Angeles Angels have been active this offseason, making several key signings to bolster their roster following a disappointing 2024 season. Among these acquisitions is Tim Anderson, a two-time All-Star shortstop, who signed a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training after struggling significantly with the Miami Marlins, where he hit just .214 in 2024. The Angels also added veteran infielder J.D. Davis on a minor league deal, hoping he can recapture his past power, despite a lackluster previous season. Additionally, the team secured left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi and former World Series winner Kyle Hendricks to strengthen their pitching rotation. With a young core and potential bounce-back candidates like Anderson and Davis, the Angels aim to improve their standing in the American League West. Manager Ron Washington's infield expertise will be crucial as the team looks to revive Anderson's career and integrate these new players effectively.
