4/03/25 | Former Angels Outfielder Takes Massive Shot at Halos After Joining AL West Rival. A former outfielder on the Los Angeles Angels recently made comments that do not paint his former team in the best light. Current Texas Rangers outfielder Kevin Pillar spoke to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com about how he was expected to retire at the end of 2024, but then inked a minor league deal in Texas that turned into an Opening Day Roster spot. Pillar spent time with two of the least-winningest teams in the league last season as the Halos lost a franchise record 99 games, and the Chicago White Sox finished with the most losses in MLB since 1900, at 121.
