Angels’ Anthony Rendon says Top Priority isn’t Baseball.

The World Series champion and 2x silver slugger champion recently said On Tuesday that "baseball has never been a top priority" for him.

Addressing the media at Angels camp in Tempe, Arizona, Rendon revealed the significance of the game in his life as he anticipates to complete, injury-free season with the Angels.

This is a job. I do this to make a living," said Rendon. "My faith and my family come first before this job. So if those things come before it, I’ll move on."

Anthony Rendon is entering his 12th season in the big leagues and soesn't seem to be showing he wants to retire just yet. However, when he was asked if he "wanted to be here", he answered it as literal as possible.

"I don't want to talk to you guys at 7 in the morning" he said.

Since signing a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Angels in December 2019, Rendon has only appeared in 200 games. This transition followed his initial seven seasons with the Nationals, which concluded with a World Series victory with the Nationals.

Despite facing a shortened 2020 season due to COVID-19 and enduring several injuries, the 33-year-old has remained sidelined since joining L.A. Nevertheless, he asserts that his perspective has remained unchanged since his professional debut over a decade ago.

"My enthusiasm has been the same since I got drafted, to be honest," said Rendon. "I was actually deleting old emails because my storage is getting to the maximum. And so I've been going back deleting old emails. I emailed myself a pros and cons of why I wanted to stay in the game. This was in 2014. And so my thought process of the game has not changed since then."

As far as fan perception is concerned, Rendon doesn't seem to be worried one bit.

"If they want to make me out to be a certain type of person because I want to see my family more, I mean, that's fine," he said. "They don’t know me. They just know the surface level. Everyone's gonna have their opinion, you can't make everybody happy."

It's safe to say Anthony Rendon will be going out there and doing his job, and that's it.
