The Angels have found their closer for the 2019 season, as they signed right-hander Cody Allen to a one year contract on Sunday.

Our new list of MLB's Top 10 second-base prospects has several players nearly ready for the big leagues, as well as some familiar names, with Keston Hiura and Luis Urias headlining the five holdovers from last year's list.

Is Mike Trout going to be around long-term? Will Tyler Skaggs evolve into an ace? Beat reporter Rhett Bollinger answers these questions and more in this edition of the Angels' Inbox.

With the 2019 Hall of Fame class being finalized this week, let's guess the next Hall of Famer to wear each team's hat on his plaque.

Evaluating defense is still very much subjective, with metrics measuring fielding still imperfect. Still, each system has glovework that stands out more than others, and we considered many to present one best defender from each organization.

First basemen don't usually draw a lot of acclaim as prospects, in large part because they tend to be less well-rounded players than those at other positions. When MLB Pipeline releases its new Top 100 next week, Minor League home run leader Peter Alonso will be the only first baseman who's not a two-way performer on the list.

The Angels picked up some relief help on Tuesday by acquiring right-hander John Curtiss from the Twins in exchange for Minor League infielder Daniel Ozoria. To make room for Curtiss on the roster, right-hander Parker Bridwell was designated for assignment.

The Anaheim City Council voted in favor of a one-year extension to the Angels' lease at Angel Stadium through the 2020 season late Tuesday, which gives both sides more time to discuss a potential new deal to either renovate the ballpark or build a new one.

Major League Baseball has revealed the first Spring Training workout dates for pitchers and catchers and those for the full squads for all 30 clubs. MLB also announced game times for all Cactus and Grapefruit League action in February and March.

Six MLB.com writers were among those eligible to cast ballots in the 2019 Hall of Fame vote conducted by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. As many as four candidates -- and possibly more -- could be elected, according to the public ballots amassed online. Here's a look at how the six voted.

Angels No. 2 overall prospect Griffin Canning enjoyed his experience at the MLB Rookie Career Development Program and said he learned a lot about future media interactions and how to handle himself in a clubhouse after attending several workshops and talking with fellow prospects.

We're less than a month away from Spring Training, so it's a good time to project what each club's Opening Day lineup will look like, or at least what it would look like if the season started today. With the help of all 30 MLB.com beat writers, here's a roundup of how they might shake out.

Today at the Thirty, we attempt to pick the one player on each team's current 40-man roster who is most likely to still be on that roster in six years.

The Angels avoided arbitration with all eight of their eligible players, including left-handers Andrew Heaney and Tyler Skaggs, ahead of Friday's deadline to exchange salary figures.

Green shoots now carpet the scarred Santa Monica Mountains, nature's initial healing from the deadly November Woolsey Fire. But nature can heal only so much, and Malibu residents Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun, Mike Moustakas and Mike Attanasio wondered soon after the blaze: What can we do?

Klay Thompson hopped on his left foot, slowly at first and then turning 360 degrees in front of the Lakers bench. He’d just made his 10th three-pointer in 10 attempts, and he was feeling good.

Minutes later, likely hoping for some theatrics of his own, Stephen Curry drove into the paint alone on...

Lakers fans roared at the end of the first quarter, the Golden State Warriors unable to score on the final possession before the buzzer.

It was a small victory during a quarter in which Golden State wasn’t at its best but still outscored the Lakers by five points.

But that’s what the Warriors do....

Stefanos Tsitsipas keeps making tennis history.

Tsitsipas beat Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2) in a men’s quarterfinal match Tuesday at the Australian Open to follow up on his stunning upset of Roger Federer.

Somebody, a new messaging service developed by filmmaker, artist, and writer Miranda July, debuts today. The app is a new way to communicate: rather than connecting directly with another person, Somebody helps mediate interaction by introducing a third party to the mix. It works like this: when a message is sent from person A to person B […]

I remember visiting the Picasso Museum in Barcelona and being fascinated by one of Picasso’s school text books on display. I can’t remember the textbook’s subject because that part was irrelevant. My fascination lay in what had been drawn in the margins. I imagined a young Picasso bored by his teacher and distracted by a […]

Few artists come along who blur the lines of the aesthetic paradigms of “fine art” or “folk art” and transcend both with a truthfulness and verve that allows us to see within the mythology. Sam Doyle is such an artist. He gives us more than mere images of vivid clarity, he opens an intimate world […]
