How Anthony Rendon Destroyed His Reputation

[@danr154]

its pretty clear depression got him. thats why people say stuff like that. i think on some level he knows how big of a dissappointment he and that contract is and he just doesnt know how to deal with it. I think he heard so much negative talk at some point a switch flipped in his head and now we're here.

[@chicagodude8888]

He got his payday, likely half assed his training and conditioning with nothing at stake after cashing in and is going through the motions.

[@shhhvcnear]

@quiqui-nw2tx I don't really see a lot of players living up to that contract, lol. There are a few who could but its a massive contract

[@cheddarcheese7928]

Rendon reminds me of Samuel L Jackson’s character in the movie “Unbreakable”..Where just trying to walk down the steps he shatters every bone in his body

[@lawrencelewkow152]

He was voted to the all-star team in about 2019- but didn’t feel like going so he stayed home. I thought that was a slap in the face to baseball and its fans

[@straightfacts6482]

Who cares you fans don’t mean nothing to the players in the real world they just need y’all money that’s it. Quit acting like life is a fairy tale where people suppose to care how you feel

[@luisrosales9349]

Bro said he hates the Hollywood lifestyle yet is always making headlines

[@bryanbohlken7653]

Life Long Angel fan here from Anaheim. This cat has single handily destroyed a fan base and a franchise. He should retire and we can pay him off, but he won't do that because he is a greedy little punk.

[@ZerG713]

"We"? Oh you write his checks every week? Lol

[@IceKing89]

​@ZerG713 nah, but angels fans definitely have the right to complain. 5 straight years and Rendon hasn't hit 60 games in a single season with the Angels. It's a joke man and I'm a rangers fan

[@Fourrings80]

Got his money and a world series ring, he checked out like a coward.

[@ZomegJ]

Lol how is that a coward he got paid.

[@Mu3az523]

He said he hate the sport of baseball and just playing for money it's not just a disrespect of LAA but for all baseball community

[@creolespanish34]

You can say anything you please if you back it up with performance. Some of my favorite off-the-cuff talkers, Marshawn Lynch, Nikola Jokic, the great Kobe Bryant, they always were authentic and didn't care about their image because they absolutely backed up their words with performance. Being a trash talker while under a huge contract under which you are clearly overpaid is a most disgraceful idea

[@ChrisCardenDrums]

Its pretty simple, somebody, whether its arte morreno, an insurance company, whoever, is on the hook for a quarter of a billion dollars to rendon. He only ever did it for money, so now he has nothing to play for, so he doesnt.

[@tedphillips3119]

I grew playing little league with this guy. He comes from the travel baseball world. Those kids are forced into baseball from the age five. It makes sense that he personally doesn't enjoy watching it.

[@AMan-rg4en]

Rendon was evaluated as much more than his talent warrants. Had the good year at the right time for free agency but he was never all that. I know it is easy for me to say now but I was saying then as well. Angels are where they are because of signings such as Rendon. 2019 was luckiest year of his life.

[@OhNoBruno]

2019 was a perfectly time contract year but he was consistently excellent in Washington. People shouldn’t diminish that just because of the disastrous contract the Angels gave him.

[@AMan-rg4en]

@@OhNoBruno He was consistent for 4 years including 2019. 2024 will be 5 years of consistency in poor performance, amazing how that happens after free agency. Baseball is a craft not a job, it is similar to being an artist. No matter to me if you don’t “love” your team, however you should respect your skills and craft. To call it a job flys in the face of those who punch a time clock, they would trade for Rendon’s “job” any day. Rendon in calling his craft a job is stating that his so called “talent” is an imposition.

[@OhNoBruno]

@@AMan-rg4en All I'm saying is the talent he displayed in Washington warranted a big contract, even if he's been brutally bad due to lack of effort/interest, injuries, etc. You're trying to knock what he accomplished with the Nationals based on his performance with the Angels. That doesn't work.

[@Ardyrezv]

I mean he did have a bunch of clutch hits on route to winning a World Series lol

[@UTNatlChamps]

You were wrong for saying it then and you are wrong now for saying that it was overrated in his time in Washington. He was a legitimate star from 2017-2019 by all objective metrics. He was actually “all that.”

[@ViperVenomComics]

As Nationals fan. He was always like this. Y’all just didn’t see it. He’s consistent atleast

[@luisrosales9349]

Bro got his money and then half assed everything. Probably doesn’t care to warm up, doesn’t work out much, etc.

[@MW53516]

So sad we loved him on the Nats

[@dwitt4574]

Little known fact. Rendon graduated from Robbie Cano school of hustle.

[@geezushasrisen]

I wouldn’t say I HATE Rendon. I’m just tired and disappointed cause I know how good he is.

[@straightfacts6482]

2017-2019 were his only fully healthy seasons and he hit over .300 in all of them and put up hall of fame numbers. He just need to be on the field consistently other than that I’m not worried about his play

[@brianchu3317]

I watched him in Washington and he seemed like such a chilled dude. It’s a real shame that his career has come to this point. I don’t hate him but certainly understand the venom that Angels fans have for him. Maybe the right thing for him to do is to retire and forfeit the rest of his contract money. He’s got enough $ earned to live a happy and carefree life. Do something good for the team.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

He just doesnt give a flying F

[@jerseywalcott6408]

Exactly what Bad Owner Moreno deserves.

[@ryanm4013]

Pujols, Hamilton, Wilson….its the Moreno Special. Throw hundreds of millions of dollars at a player who will never come close to living up to their contract. He is who I blame for the decline of the Angels

[@steveoh9285]

Being part of an extremely dysfunctional organization like the Angels would get to anyone. Having said that, Rendon went from being one of my favorite players to someone whom I just can’t stand. He’s turned into an egregious financial leech who seemingly doesn’t care at all. The team should just dump him and move on.

[@NipItInTheBud100]

Isn’t it amazing that a players stats always go down after they sigh these huge contacts? Anyone else find that interesting?

[@UTNatlChamps]

A-Rod with Texas, Ohtani, Trout, Judge, yeah, they all sucked after their contract.

[@1BUVTHALAW1]

Him and the angels deserve each other

[@PaloVerde1414]

2:00 Young Rendon looks like Old Rendon’s Son

[@gospos1]

Rendon has always been a bit of a wildcard off the field and to be honest, those injuries look to be, at least looking at the highlights, legitimate. As a lifelong Expo/Nats fan, Rendon and every player on that 2019 team, will always be special to me. Winning that championship, when I thought I would never see one, makes me blind to any of these superficial issues. He could be more respectful, for sure, however. But I will never pass judgement on him.

[@yestonymontana2257]

I'm a Nats fan . he's good for us. he screwed the angels over, not our Nats

[@tmillz120]

He gave me the finger last year in Fenway because I called him slower then a turtle 😅

[@straightfacts6482]

In a friendly way or he was serious?

[@tmillz120]

@@straightfacts6482 just the finger no emotion on his face lol

[@charlesfowler519]

His signing was a reaction to the fact the Angels, who have been seeking FA Starting pitcher for six seasons to compliment Trout, failed to do so. So rather than come away from the off-season empty handed they signed Rendon. But the bigger Angel issue is the failure to sign top free agent pitchers. Tyler Anderson is the best they could do in six years. Not good enough. Keeping in mind Ohtani was purchased. Not acquired as a FA.

[@kenarthur6253]
