Usually a blockbuster $245M deal earns a top spot in the Best in Sports, but Ja Morant’s dagger dunk was that filthy. Besides, Anthony Rendon prefers to avoid the spotlight, which became a big part of him choosing the Orange County Angels as opposed to the Downtown LA Dodgers.
UPDATE: Los Angeles Angels have agreed to sign All-Star 3B Anthony Rendon to a 7y/$245M deal https://t.co/Ie7Vd9EXtt
