ANAHEIM, Calif. — Two-time All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels and will report to big-league spring training with a chance to revive his career.

The Angels also announced minor-league deals Tuesday with right-handers Connor Brogdon and Dakota Hudson, left-hander Victor González and infielder Carter Kieboom.
Anderson, 31, won the 2019 American League batting title and was an All-Star with the Chicago White Sox in 2021 and ’22. The Sox declined a $14 million option after the 2023 season, ending a six-year, $25 million contract, and Anderson signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Miami Marlins.
He hit .214 with no home runs, nine RBIs and four stolen bases in 234 at-bats last year, all career lows. Anderson didn’t play between May 10 and 21 because of lower back tightness. The Marlins designated him for assignment July 2 and released him three days later.
“I hope he lands on his feet somewhere because he’s still young and still has a lot to give to the game,” then-Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said at the time.
After leading the majors with a .335 average in 2019, Anderson had just one home run and 25 RBIs in 123 games for the Sox in 2023.
