A video that has been circulating on social media purporting to show Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon holding a fan by the shirt through the bleacher guardrails is under investigation by Major League Baseball. After the Angels' 2-1 loss to the Athletics on Opening Day in Oakland, the event took place. In the behind-the-scenes footage, Rendon appears to have hastily snatched the Athletics fan's shirt as he leaned in close to the Angels player. Rendon, still holding his shirt through the fence, appears to confront the fan with a smile. "What have you said? Well, you did refer to me as a b****." Rendon says, which is audible. The fan's comments are garbled in the video. following saying, "You did, indeed. You did, indeed. Exactly, motherf***** "Rendon swipes at the fan but avoids making eye contact before walking away. Star player Mike Trout can be seen watching the exchange as the majority of Rendon's Angels teammates stroll by. Before the 2020 season, the Angels signed Rendon to a seven-year, $245 million contract. Due to a right wrist injury that necessitated surgery, his 2022 season was cut short in June. He also experienced hip and hamstring problems. In the Angels' defeat on Thursday night, the seasoned third baseman went 0 for 3. The Angels have yet to comment on the video, but the club reportedly expects Rendon to address it in front of reporters Saturday ahead of another game against the A's in Oakland.
