It's time for the next instalment of the 2025 Season Review Series - this time we're looking at the Los Angeles Angels!

Joining us for this review is lifelong Angels fan - Niko Guardado!

The Angels finished 2025 in last place in the AL West with a record of 70-92. Despite the off-season showing a bit of life with the signings of Yusei Kikcuhi and Travis D'Arnaud, it just never really clicked for the Angels this year. 

Kikuchi was the bright spot in a bit of a lacklustre rotation for the Angels, and the bullpen wasn't much better! 

On the positional side it was a bit of a better story - with Jo Adell and Taylor Ward having career years, supported by Anaheim legend Mike Trout and shortstop Zach Neto!

On the managerial side, due to ill health Ron Washington was unable to finish the season and won't be returning in 2026. Kurt Suzuki instead has been given the reigns for this upcoming season and there is reason for optimism with the fans.

Joining Gaz and Cal on this review is lifelong Angels fan Niko Guardado! He lets us know what its really like to be an Angels fan in 2025 and why 2026 may not be as bad as fans may fear!
