Justin Upton had one-year, $28 million remaining on his contract
Upton started strong with Los Angeles, totaling 37 home runs in his first 172 games. However, he failed to live up to the billing from there. From 2019 to ’21, Upton played in just 194 games total, with an OPS below .730 in each season.
As the years went on, Upton’s fit with the Angels became less clear. With Shohei Ohtani as the every day designated hitter, and Mike Trout, Brandon Marsh and Jo Adell expected to make up the outfield, Upton was becoming an expensive bench piece. Upton was having a strong spring training with Los Angeles, totaling three home runs and 11 RBIs in 15 at bats this spring. If he ultimately clears waivers, Upton will be a free agent and able to have more say in where he plays this year.
