For Art’s Sake In a luxurious seaside city that’s captivated the hearts of its visitors and stolen the screens of classic Hollywood films, it’s not surprising that Newport Beach’s natural beauty and allure would attract and inspire artists to create sculptures in a setting that nature’s already taken her paintbrush to.

What's expected from C.J. Cron, going forward? Will the Angels add starters? Beat reporter Maria Guardado answers these and more in the latest Inbox.

Angels catching prospect Taylor Ward was removed from the Arizona Fall League's Scottsdale Scorpions roster earlier this week with a right shoulder impingement, general manager Billy Eppler said Thursday.

Jonathan Mayo checks in on the Angels' Arizona Fall League participants, led by first base prospect Matt Thaiss.

Andrelton Simmons had a breakout season with career highs in on-base percentage, slugging percentage and RBIs, but his calling card remains his defense.

Coming out of Spring Training, the Angels had three relievers on their roster who they thought would be capable of pitching multiple innings: Yusmeiro Petit, JC Ramirez and Bud Norris. But injuries soon forced them to reallocate those arms.

No Major League catcher shouldered as heavy a workload this regular season as Angels backstop Martin Maldonado. In his first full season as a starter, Maldonado led the Majors with 137 games caught, the most by an Angels catcher since Bob Boone's 144 in 1986.

Which position is the most important to fill? What will the rotation look like? Beat reporter Maria Guardado answers these and more in the latest Inbox.

The Angels will have several holes to fill as they look ahead to the 2018 season, though one stands out to manager Mike Scioscia more than others.

The Eagles gave Trout a TD celebration

Jaime Barria's steep rise from Class-A Advanced Inland Empire to Triple-A Salt Lake this season cemented his status as one of the brightest pitching talents in the Angels' improving farm system. His stock was further validated after he was named the organization's Pitching Prospect of the Year by MLBPipeline.com for the second consecutive year.

While Justin Upton has yet to announce a decision on his future, a source told MLB.com that it's increasingly likely he will exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and become a free agent.

Hitting coach Dave Hansen will not return for the 2018 season, the Angels announced on Wednesday.

Several members of the Angels 2017 Draft class are in Arizona participating in Instructional League, including each of the club's first four selections. Most notably first-rounder Jo Adell and second-rounder Griffin Canning, the Angels No. 1 and No. 4 prospects, are present and building toward the future.

Mike Scioscia will return to manage the Angels in 2018, but his future with the organization is unclear beyond that.

MLB and the MLB Players Association jointly announced the latest Most Popular Jerseys rankings on Tuesday, and the rookie slugger topped the list to add another distinction to an historic first full year. The list is based on sales of Majestic jerseys from MLBShop.com since Opening Day.

The Angels fell short of their goal of clinching an American League Wild Card berth and ended up finishing with a second consecutive losing season, but 2017 still carried several bright spots that the club hopes will position it for more success in the near future.

On a day that UCLA needed a spark, an exemplary effort, a smile, walk-on wide receiver Christian Pabico delivered on all counts.

His value to the Bruins went beyond the obvious, that his first career touchdown reception became their second score in a 31-14 victory over Oregon on Saturday at the...

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Trump tagged the show's Twitter account in one of the messages. Later Thursday, Trump repeated the claims to reporters gathered in the Oval Office."That's your real Russia story. Not a story where they talk about collusion and there was none. It was a...

They didn’t see this coming.

They carried the usual positivity into the season, which usually gets ruined by the first few losses. But the Kings aren’t there yet, nor did they predict being here, at 6-0-1.

Not after Anze Kopitar reached out and lifted them to a 6-4 win Saturday against the Columbus...

Fifty feet from home plate, Jose Altuve’s bat hit ground. The baseball touched down 314 feet further, in the third row of the right-field seats. He had swung hard, and he had not let go. The smallest man on the field carried his weapon until he was certain that his fly ball was a home run, that...

Evacuation orders at the Campo Indian Reservation in San Diego County have been lifted as firefighters continue to make progress in controlling a wildfire in the area, authorities said.

Residents along Church Road were advised to evacuate for several hours Saturday afternoon as a wind-driven brush...

Iman Marshall sat on the trainer’s table in the first quarter of USC’s loss to Notre Dame with his head down and welcomed a procession of teammates and coaches.

Marshall’s left knee was propped up and wrapped in ice. When coach Clay Helton came over with about five minutes left in the first quarter,...

Since becoming head coach of his alma mater, Newport Harbor High boys’ water polo coach Ross Sinclair has been hard on John Rankin.

These are words that come from Sinclair’s mouth, not Rankin’s. It’s not so much of an admittance, just a recognition of the rocky relationship between player and coach.

UCLA found an unlikely accomplice on the way to its first victory over Oregon in a decade.

A defense that had been pummeled over the first half of the season delivered a wicked counterpunch during the Bruins’ 31-14 triumph over the Ducks on Saturday afternoon before 55,711 at the Rose Bowl.

Not only was Danilo Gallinari unable to play in many preaseason games with new teammates Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, but the Clippers’ new starting small forward was unable to get in many practices with the two.

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 […]
