Now, consequences have started to pop up for the struggling <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mlb\/\">MLB<\/a> club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manager Joe Maddon is out, which sure seemed like the logical step for the organization to take after the skipper failed to deliver any meaningful answers about the team's slide. But it's hard to pin the blame on his shoulders when LA has consistently failed to put high-quality signings around the stellar superstar duo of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just don't feel too bad for those two, even if they <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/chris-sale-6-worst-mlb-contracts-last-decade\/\">can't be pleased with the efforts they've gotten over the years from disappointing acquisitions<\/a> such as Anthony Rendon, Justin Upton, and Albert Pujols, now the oldest player in the big leagues. They knew what they were doing when they joined (in Ohtani's case and <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/shohei-ohtani-continues-make-history-barely-cracks-top-250-mlb-salary\/\">at a bargain price<\/a>) and re-signed (in Trout's case) with the Angels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as much as the Halos have taken center stage for all the wrong reasons in early June, they're far from the only news-makers in MLB, and the latest episode of <em>Baseball 360 <\/em>has you covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Make that three bombs in five games since the Astros breaded up Yordan Alvarez. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SZYQRTjMkI\">pic.twitter.com\/SZYQRTjMkI<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Jared Carrabis (@Jared_Carrabis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jared_Carrabis\/status\/1534371730134908929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yordan Alvarez has become one of the best hitters on the planet and got rewarded with a shiny new contract extension by the Astros.
