The LA Angels had a somewhat quiet trade deadline last week.
It’s understandable, as they can’t necessarily host a fire sale when they have Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani on their roster. They have the best duo in baseball, so starting over wouldn’t be a good idea.
They still could have sold a bit more, and didn’t. There are a few 2022 free agents that the Angels probably won’t be re-signing that they could have traded, and didn’t. I’m fairly sure that three of them in particular won’t be Angels next year.
