The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim' 2010 season is the franchise's 50th season and 45th in Anaheim. The Angels began this season as the three-time defending American League West division champions. During the 2010 season, the Angels hosted MLB All-Star Game at Angel Stadium for the third time in franchise history.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim had to address four vital free agencies going into the offseason, with right fielder Bobby Abreu, ace John Lackey, leadoff third baseman Chone Figgins and aging slugger Vladimir Guerrero all entering free agency. The offseason challenge for the Angels was one of the toughest in baseball with ESPN saying one of the top ten offseason questions was "Will the Angels be able to keep their team together?"
Going into the postseason Angels trimmed roughly $51 million off their payroll with many of the teams highly paid stars becoming free agents: Vladimir Guerrero, Kelvim Escobar, John Lackey, Bobby Abreu, Chone Figgins, Darren Oliver and Robb Quinlan. However, the Angels also had eight player going into salary arbitration: pitchers Jered Weaver and Joe Saunders, catchers Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis, infielders Erick Aybar, Maicer Izturis and Howie Kendrick and outfielder Reggie Willits.
