All-Star third baseman Anthony Rendon has agreed a seven-year, $245million deal with the Los Angeles Angels, the MLB franchise confirmed on Friday.
Rendon, 29, became a free agent after leading the Washington Nationals to their first World Series title in October.
He hit a crucial home run off Zack Greinke in the decisive Game 7 victory against the Houston Astros and finished third in the voting for National League MVP honours.
Rendon joins forces with star center fielder Mike Trout after agreeing the largest free-agent contract in the team's history, having exceeded the 10-year, $240m deal Albert Pujols signed in December 2011.

The Angels, who missed out on New York Yankees-bound pitcher Gerrit Cole, failed to reach the postseason for a fifth successive year in 2019, finishing with a 72-90 record.
Rendon will be introduced at a news conference at Angel Stadium on Saturday.
