ANAHEIM, Calif. — Two-time All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels and will report to big-league spring training with a chance to revive his career.
Los Angeles also announced minor league deals on Tuesday with right-handers Connor Brogdon and Dakota Hudson, left-hander Victor González and infielder Carter Kieboom.
Anderson, 31, won the 2019 AL batting title and was an All-Star with the Chicago White Sox in 2021 and ’22. Chicago declined a $14 million option after the 2023 season, ending a $25 million, six-year contract, and Anderson signed a $5 million, one-year deal with the Marlins.
He hit .214 with no home runs, nine RBIs and four stolen bases in 234 at-bats last year, all career lows. Anderson didn’t play between May 10 and 21 because of lower back tightness. He was designated for assignment on July 2 and released three days later.
“I hope he lands on his feet somewhere because he’s still young and still has a lot to give to the game,” then-Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said at the time.
After leading the majors with a .335 average in 2019, Anderson had just one home run and 25 RBIs over 123 games for the White Sox in 2023.
