The Los Angeles Angels find themselves in a frustrating situation with a little over a week to go until the Aug. 31 trade deadline.
Los Angeles fell to 8-19 after a loss to the Oakland Athletics on Friday night, and are all but out of playoff contention. The record would seem to suggest the Angels will be sellers. However, the Halos signed Anthony Rendon to a massive deal this offseason and are committed to becoming more competitive with superstar center fielder Mike Trout in the midst of his prime years.
It is possible the Angels look to make a play for additional pitching at the deadline.
