21 Jul
Summary
- Angels interim GM Mozeliak assessing trade value of controllable assets.
- Detmers and Soriano are key trade chips due to arbitration control.
- Angels have worst record in American League, farm system ranked 23rd.
Interim general manager John Mozeliak is assessing the Los Angeles Angels' trade strategy as the team currently holds the worst record in the American League. Mozeliak indicated openness to moving controllable assets, with starting pitchers Reid Detmers and José Soriano identified as significant potential trade chips. Both pitchers are under arbitration control through 2028, making them attractive to other teams.
Mozeliak emphasized that any deals must provide a strong return on investment and align with the franchise's best interests. The Angels' farm system was ranked 23rd by Baseball America, and the team faces a challenging path to competitiveness. Decisions regarding trades, particularly for key players like Detmers and Soriano, will be made with a focus on long-term benefit, though Mozeliak is still evaluating the timeline for contention.
