Angels at Rangers Game 4 Gamethread

He made great progress defensively. As a hitter, his OPS+ is nearly identical to what it has been every year for the last 4 years, 89, 78, 87, 88. He has been very consistently a 12% below average hitter. Hopefully next year he flips the switch.

I believe the position player roster and line up will be almost identical to this year. Because as you said they likely won’t be contenders, next year will be an additional opportunity for the same youngsters to prove they belong. Since 2026 is Perry’s walk year, next year will be another year of discovery and development, and then I think you’ll see an effort to try to compete in 2026.
