Tim Anderson Could Open The Year At Shortstop
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Tim Anderson could have a shot to be the team's Opening Day shortstop in 2025 with Zach Neto (shoulder) expected to open the season on the injured list after having right-shoulder surgery last November. Anderson is on a minor-league deal, though, and will have to earn his spot on the roster while competing with the likes of Kevin Newman, Scott Kingery and Kyren Paris. Luis Rengifo could also be an option for the 6 while Neto is out early on. Anderson was a former batting champion with the Chicago White Sox in 2019 and was also named to two All-Star teams. However, his production has fallen off a cliff the last two years (.235/.271/.274 with a .544 OPS), leading to his release with the Miami Marlins in 2024. The 31-year-old is really going to have to turn things around to avoid being just an infield bench option in 2025.
