The Los Angeles Angels' quiet offseason has raised questions about payroll and their ability to attract free agents. Reports suggest the team is seeking an infielder and pitching, with supplemental moves expected. The departure of Shohei Ohtani has left an impact on the team, and there are discussions about returning to a 5-man rotation. The team's performance in 2023, particularly the impact of days of rest between starts for starting pitchers, is also being analyzed.

Reid Detmers on Foul Territory said that his belief is the #Angels will go back to a 5-man rotation this season. “So that’s gonna be nice, staying on that routine every 5 days. 6 days is a long time.” “Less of a wait in-between starts is gonna be nice.” https://t.co/MVTmkkVkaN https://t.co/fUG2ERWjIC
