“These are the key players the Angels could potentially offer in trades.”
Reports indicate that the Los Angeles Angels are increasingly likely to trade outfielder Taylor Ward, reliever Carlos Estévez, starter Tyler Anderson, and Luis Rengifo by the July 30 deadline. According to The Athletic’s Jim Bowden, these trades are expected to proceed if the Angels secure suitable returns.
Ward, who has attracted interest from the Pittsburgh Pirates, is in his seventh season with the Angels, boasting a .235/.320/.413 slash line with 14 home runs and 44 RBIs. He is anticipated to be a sought-after outfielder on the trade market, alongside White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr.
Estévez, poised to become a free agent after the season, is likely to draw significant interest given his recent stellar performance. He was named the National League Reliever of the Month for June, posting a 2.76 ERA with 16 saves and impressive strikeout numbers.
Anderson, with a record of 8-8 and a 2.81 ERA this season, is expected to appeal to teams seeking pitching depth. His ERA ranks ninth in MLB, making him a valuable asset.
Despite currently being on the injured list due to a hand injury, Rengifo has shown strong offensive capabilities when healthy, slashing .315/.368/.442 with six home runs and 25 RBIs. His batting average ranks seventh among players with at least 200 plate appearances.
As the Angels are positioned as sellers leading up to the trade deadline, discussions involving these four players are likely to intensify throughout the month.
