- English (US)
The Angels = A base ball team
Optioned = When a baseball team decides to send one of their players to play in the minor league for a while, but they are still in a contract with the Angels so they are still part of the Angels
In what serves as the latest reminder that... : A phrase that is similar to "This is the latest example of..."
In this case, it is the latest example of laid-plans falling apart.
Even the best laid-plans can fall apart : Since this is after the phrase 'in what serves as the latest reminder that,' this means that the angels optioning hin away is the latest example of best-laid plans falling apart.
A best-laid plan is a plan that was planned or created very carefully.
Even best-laid plans can fall apart means that even plans that were supposed to work because they were planned very carefully can not work, can fail to work, can fall apart.
Overall, the angels optioning him is an example of how even good plans can fail.

I understood that this means even the Angels doesn't know whether the decision would go well for him or not.
