The LA Angels were extremely quiet over the course of the trade deadline. After only trading David Hernandez to the Diamondbacks for a mid-level prospect, the Angels and their fan base were still stuck in baseball purgatory. However, the Angels are all-in on the season, and have acquired Justin Upton from the Detroit Tigers.
Upton has had a solid season for the disappointing Tigers. At age 29, Upton is making the most of his prime years. He has hit 28 big flies this year, on top of a .279 batting average and 94 RBI’s.
