Latest news and updates about the Angels
The Los Angeles Angels are a mess, and are likely best served by opening the floodgates this trade deadline. They leaked on Thursday that they are interested in trading shortstop Zack Neto, but perhaps the single most-likely-to-be-dealt player on the entire market is lefty starter Reid Detmers. Detmers just turned 27 and is under team […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball draws to a close this weekend as they continue this three-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels. Normally, I like to do separate posts for player of the week and highlight of the week. As of the time this is being written, the […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Los Angeles Angels to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.87 ERA, 3.54 FIP, with 85 strikeouts to 27 walks in 107 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
Will the Los Angeles Angels sell this year? Finally? With John Mozeliak at the helm in the front office, replacing the deposed Perry Minasian, perhaps the Halos will finally agree to do some selling at the trade deadline. They have been loath to do so in recent years, much to their detriment. The most famous example would be getting absolutely nothing for arguably the greatest player in baseball history, Shohei Ohtani. Shortstop Zach Neto is no Shohei, but he is a former first-round pick and a...
The Astros are signing catcher Matt Thaiss to a minor league contract and assigning him to Triple-A Sugar Land, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He’d been released from a non-roster deal with the Red Sox last week. Thaiss has played parts of seven seasons in the majors, six of them with the Angels. A first-round […]
No reason to be cute with the headline or insightful with the commentary. These are two bad teams beyond redemption. The Giants have had just 2 winning seasons since 2016 (2016 & 2021), but the Angels haven’t had any — 2026 will mark their 11th consecutive losing season… basically, they’ve been losers since they fully […]
The Angels once again enter the deadline as clear sellers — this time with a new general manager at the helm. Longtime Cardinals president John Mozeliak is running the Halos’ front office on an interim basis after Perry Minasian’s firing last month, and one of the areas on which he’s focused is bringing in a […]
Jerry Reinsdorf may have been christened “the Owner Who Thinks He Knows Everything,” but there are others who know zilch about baseball as well, from Anaheim to Queens. But all those billionaires are supposed to share an ability to figure out finances. Fuggedaboudit. There’s a really big chance coming up for the owners of Major […]
We officially have trade deadline rumors! Is anyone interested in a little Zach Neto action? Yesterday, The Athletic reported that “after expressing interest in the Los Angeles Angels shortstop last offseason, [the Red Sox] continue to view him as a strong fit, according to people briefed on their discussions.” As fun as it was to […]
The Red Sox are interested in Angels shortstop Zach Neto, report Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. They report that Boston also checked in with the Angels about Neto last offseason, though those preliminary conversations didn’t progress to the point where the sides actually discussed trade frameworks. There was no indication that Neto […]
With more than seven years of Major League experience, Jordan Romano is no stranger to serving as a closer. The Canadian right-hander spent the first six years of his Major League career with the Toronto Blue Jays before moving to Philadelphia for a year in 2025, and was most recently with the Los Angeles Angels […]

The Angels and outfielder Cade Marlowe are in agreement on a minor league contract, per Ari Alexander of 7News. He just recently opted out of a minor league deal with the A’s, and his new contract with the Halos has some future opt-out opportunities as well. Marlowe, formerly a prospect in Seattle’s system, has played […]
As part of the 2022 trade deadline, the Los Angeles Angels traded outfielder Brandon Marsh to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor league catcher Logan O’Hoppe. This move was triggered by Marsh’s early offensive struggles with the Angels and the club’s dire need for a catcher of the future. Over the last decade or […] The post Is Logan O’Hoppe Really the Angels’ Catcher of the Future? appeared first on Just Baseball .
The 2026 MLB draft came and went, with the Angels selecting 15 players among the 20 rounds. With interim general manager John Mozeliak now in charge, he allowed scouting director Tim McIlvaine more freedom in the draft. As Mozeliak said when he was appointed interim GM, he wanted to focus on the draft and finding […] The post How Soon Can Angels’ 2026 Draft Picks Make the MLB? appeared first on The Lead .
Where were you on November 18, 2025, when the Orioles sent Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for one year of Taylor Ward? The trade was a shocker at the time as Rodriguez, though coming off an injury, was not yet arbitration eligible and still had four years of team control remaining and Ward had just […]
With 11 Major League Baseball teams hovering within three games of .500 while even the mighty Dodgers have cobbled together a losing record thus far in July, the 2026 World Series may well hinge on which clubs are able to make the perfect trade deadline pickups.
How would the St. Louis Cardinals respond to two of the most disappointing games of the year? Tuesday night in Anaheim, it was Matthew Liberatore on the mound for the Cardinals and the game started like the Angels were reading his mind. To say that the game started off poorly for St. Louis would be […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to rebound from yet another tough loss Monday night with a Tuesday night clash versus the Los Angeles Angels. Matthew Liberatore will start for the Cardinals while the Angels will give the ball to Walbert Ureña. First pitch is scheduled for 8:38pm central time at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. […]
The Los Angeles Angels fired one of their pro scouts who gave himself the moniker "The Baseball Spy" earlier this season after it was revealed he filmed members of the Colorado Rockies coaching staff with his cell phone while sitting in the stands.
In addition to holding the worst record in the American League this season, the Los Angeles Angels had not pulled off a win in 106 games where they entered the ninth inning trailing, according to ESPN Insights. That was the longest active streak in MLB before a walk-off hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the ninth […] The post Angels Finally End 106-Game Losing Streak on Walk-Off Hit-By-Pitch appeared first on LA Sports Report.
In a departure from trade deadlines and offseasons past, the Angels appear to be willing to hear other clubs out when they come calling about some of their most appealing, controllable trade options. Interim GM John Mozeliak said yesterday that he would “possibly” entertain such deals if the proposed returns were compelling. Meanwhile, Jeff Passan […]
The Boston Red Sox could pull off a blockbuster at the MLB trade deadline, as they've been linked to Angels shortstop Zach Neto. Any trade would be expensive, though.
