In his years since taking over as the LA Angels general manager, Billy Eppler has often spoken about getting cost-controlled pitching. As well all know, that has yet to work out. And as the Halos target Gerrit Cole and other aces in free agency, one pitcher on the trade market should be desirable as well.
Jon Gray has never been an All Star like Cole, Stephen Strasburg, or Hyun-Jin Ryu. He’s never had a sub-3.00 ERA either. However, he is one of the best trade options for the Angels this offseason, especially with the free agency they hope to have.
