MLB Rumors: What will the Angels do at the trade deadline?

After the Los Angeles Angels traded for Mike Moustakas and Eduardo Escobar, the expectation in league circles is that they are not done.

The Angels want to compete this year. Making the postseason and potentially going on a deep run would only enhance their chances at retaining Shohei Ohtani — and they have indicated, both privately and publicly, that they desperately want to retain him. And their aggressiveness on the trade market only enhances that.

So what will the Angels target ahead of the July 31 deadline? Word is, they’re open to anything. Starting pitching. Bullpen. Offense. They will evaluate any and all options and figure out what is best to help their team win in 2023 and beyond.

The additions of Moustakas and Escobar were the appetizer. Now, the rest of baseball is waiting to see what the main course will be as the Angels do whatever it takes to retain Ohtani.
