Upton is still owed $28 million for the 2022 season, the fifth and final year of a five-year deal signed in 2017. Assuming he opts for free agency, the Angels will still owe him the full amount.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have designated outfielder Justin Upton for assignment.
Upton's time with the Angels was constantly mired by injury, and since 2018 he managed to take the field in just 194 games over the last three seasons. Now, each will likely slot into either corner outfield position with perennial MVP-favorite Mike Trout manning his native centerfield.
