Angels decline Kole Calhoun’s option, making him a free agent

Kole Calhoun’s tenure with the Angels is one significant step closer to being over.
The Angels declined Calhoun’s $14 million option for 2020 on Monday, instead paying him a $1 million buyout.
Calhoun is now a free agent, so he could still re-sign with the Angels at a lesser salary. At this point, it’s unclear if either side would be interested in such a reunion.
Calhoun, 32, had been preparing himself for the end of his Angels’ tenure since before the season ended.
