Angels News: Halos Sign Former Rays World Series Hero to One-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Angels limped to a 73-89 record last season, and the team missed the playoffs for the 13th time in the past 14 years. It had an offseason of upheaval. Mainly, the team saw generational talent Shohei Ohtani take his talents down the freeway from Anaheim to the Los Angeles Dodgers via free agency. The Angels have a Grand Canyon-sized…

Last season the Los Angeles Angels posted a 73-89 record and finished fourth in the AL West. That set a mark of nine consecutive seasons without making it to the playoffs. Poor Mike Trout. The Angels have been in shambles lately with multiple failed attempts at finding a long-term solution as the manager and they tremendously failed at their Shohei…

Even though they've already acquired Edward Olivares, the Pittsburgh Pirates have still been linked to outfield additions this winter. The Pirates landed Olivares from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor-league infielder Deivis Nadal earlier in the offseason. With him in the fold, the current outfield mix includes Olivares, Bryan Reynolds,…

The Los Angeles Angels had a mediocre offense in 2023 despite rostering the league MVP in Shohei Ohtani. They ranked 16th in runs scored which is as mediocre as it gets. Only two teams that ranked lower made the playoffs. Those teams were the Brewers and Marlins, who were both carried by strong pitching staffs. The Angels didn't have that, so it's…

Breaking down the perfect trade the Los Angeles Dodgers must offer the Angels for superstar Mike Trout as rumors swirl Will the Los Angeles Angels trade Mike Trout this offseason? And if so, could the Los Angeles Dodgers be a potential trade suitor for one of MLB's best players of all-time? MLB insider Hector Gomez reported on Friday that the…

The Los Angeles Angels officially announced that they have outrighted six players ahead of the 2023 offseason. These players will all officially be free agents, free to sign with any other team (including the Angels). One of the six players the team outrighted was Jared Walsh, whose Angels career feels over. At one point, Jared Walsh looked like a…

Arguably the best MLB player of his generation and one of the greatest ever could be available on the trade market this winter. The Los Angeles Angels are open to trading Mike Trout if the superstar outfielder indicates he wants a change of scenery, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale. As Nightengale notes, Trout has exclusive no-trade rights…

The Los Angeles Angels are on the verge of being baseball's grandest on-field tragedy in decades. Arguably, actually, they have already achieved it. The two greatest ballplayers of this generation both play in Anaheim. Mike Trout was the best player of the 2010s by a country mile, beating the next-closest hitter by nearly 20 wins above replacement…

The Detroit Tigers (46-55) are hosting the Los Angeles Angels (52-49) in a doubleheader on Thursday. The Angels have been playing extremely well, winning six of their last seven outings. Meanwhile, the Tigers had their two-game win streak halted on Tuesday, falling to the Angels 7-6. Both clubs sit in third place in their respective divisions. Game…

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Shohei Ohtani's line drive left his bat at a sizzling 113 mph, but only a 19-degree launch angle. Hugging the ground like an airplane trying to fly below the radar, it streaked all the way over the center-field fence. "I don't know if I've seen a ball hit like that, except a golf ball, maybe," Angels manager Phil Nevin said.…

Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels 5/24/2023 Picks Predictions Previews The Boston Red Sox will go against the Los Angeles Angels in MLB action in Angel Stadium of Anaheim, CA, on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 9:38 PM ET. With a 26-22 record, the Red Sox moved to fourth in the AL East. But going into this game, they lost two of their most recent…

The Los Angeles Angels signed Brett Phillips to be the Opening Day fourth outfielder. Whether that'll end up being a good signing or not remains to be seen, but it does tell us one thing. Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak will almost certainly barring injury not be on the Opening Day roster. This could mean one of two things. Either one or both of them…

With just under three months until Opening Day, MLB fans are starting to feel the buzz. Free agents have signed, trades have been completed, and rosters are starting to take shape. Fans have already started to squabble over starting rotations, batting lineups, and which pitchers deserve to start on Opening Day. In a recent tweet by MLB Network,…

It is decreed in the ancient scrolls. Despite employing two of the greatest ballplayers in history, the Angels cannot finish higher than.500. It's an immutable law of baseball physics that cannot be bent or broken, but that won't stop the club from trying. Early in the offseason, they've been the most active MLB team, signing Tyler Anderson and…

Shohei Ohtani comes off his MVP season where he dominated the game like nobody ever has. The Astros came up just short in 2021, losing the World Series in 6 games to the Atlanta Braves but even though they lost their All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa seems poised for yet another run. It's hard to pick the over with two aces on the mound, but it's…

ANAHEIM - When the MLB trade deadline passed and Shohei Ohtani remained in the Angels' clubhouse, it signaled that the club has no intention of rebuilding in 2023. And one of the moves they did make - trading closer Raisel Iglesias and the $51 million remaining on his contract - left no doubt that they are creating space to reload for another run…

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout hasn't played in a game since July 12 because of what was originally diagnosed as back spasms. He was later placed on the injured list with a stated diagnosis of rib cage inflammation. Although more than a week have passed since, there's no greater clarity on when he'll return to the lineup. The Angels do,…

Mike Trout is certainly on pace to go down as one of the top MLB players of all time. The Los Angeles Angles star has made the All-Star Game every year since his rookie campaign in 2011, has won three American League MVP awards and has finished runner-up on four other occasions. He's also become an injury-plagued outfielder who managed only 36…

The Los Angeles Angels optioned OF Joe Adell to Triple-A and recalled INF Jose Rojas on Tuesday. Adell was once considered a top prospect for the Angels but struggled in his initial debut in 2020. After minimal playing time in 2021, the Angels expected Adell to breakout this season. But the 23-year old has posted a very underwhelming.231/.242/.431…

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be traveling to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on April 3, to take on the Los Angeles Angels in a Spring Training game. No starting pitchers have been announced for either side as of the writing of this preview. The Angels are currently sporting an 8-4 record in Spring Training. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are hoping…

The Los Angeles Angels were bit players in a once-in-a-lifetime show last season, providing the backdrop for Shohei Ohtani's historic two-way performance. The unanimous AL MVP in 2021, Ohtani finished third in the AL with 46 home runs (many of the moon-shot variety) and second in OPS (.965), and his at-bats were must-see viewing. At the same time,…

Mike Trout made his big-league debut as a 19-year-old on July 8, 2011. In the years since, he has won a Rookie of the Year award and three Most Valuable Player awards and established himself as the best player of his generation, one who stacks up against the all-time greats. Since Trout's debut, however, the Los Angeles Angels have gone 721-708…

On the way to winning his third American League MVP last year, Mike Trout seemingly did something you wouldn't think possible - he got better. Now, the challenge for the Angels is to do the same. They believe they made a big step in that direction with the hiring of Joe Maddon as manager. He replaces Brad Ausmus, who served as a one-year bridge…

What better way to start off the 2020's than with five bold predictions for the LA Angels and their players? There is a ton of excitement around the fanbase, and these next ten years already look to be far more promising than the last ten have been. So, without further ado, my five bold predictions of the 2020's for the Halos. As of now, Mike Trout…

The Los Angeles Angels are entering a new era: After 19 seasons, Mike Scioscia will no longer be the manager. In 39 years before Scioscia became their manager, the Angels averaged 76.6 wins per full season, had only 12 winning seasons and made the playoffs three times (without winning a series). In 19 seasons under Scioscia, the Angels averaged…
