Ken Rosenthal reported that the Los Angeles Angels are hesitant to enter the designated hitter (DH) market, preferring to keep the spot open for players like Trout and Rendon. The team is interested in adding another infielder for insurance and is prioritizing pitching. Arte Moreno, the team's owner, is reportedly uncertain about the team's direction after losing Ohtani and is waiting for the TV deal to be resolved. The MLB offseason is moving slowly, with free agents and teams feeling the impact of the gridlocked market.
