Don’t get him wrong: Anthony Rendon likes his job.

But that’s exactly what it is for the Los Angeles Angels third baseman. Just a job.

“It’s never been a top priority for me,” Rendon said Monday about baseball as he reported to spring training, via The Athletic. “This is a job. I do this to make a living. My faith, my family come first before this job. So if those things come before it, I’m leaving.”

The comments sound very similar to how Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokiu0107 feels about his job.
