Angels Rumors: 2 Halos to Be ‘Popular’ Trade Targets If Team Chooses to Sell

It's not all about Shohei!

All the talk surrounding the Los Angeles Angels right now is about two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. He is the big fish, and if traded, he would net the Angels plenty of prospects. But the team does have some other players that they could sell off.

The team finds themselves just a few games back of the final wild-card spot in the American League, but we are still uncertain which direction they will go. The next week could really determine how the Angels play this deadline and if they want to be in the selling mood.

According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, two players on the Angels roster could be coveted by teams.

 "If the Angels do sell, Hunter Renfroe and Matt Moore will also be popular."

Per The NY Post

Renfroe is having a decent year with the Halos acting as a power hitter in the middle to bottom of the order. He has been one of the more consistent members of this Angels team, so they could likely get something of value for him if they moved him.

He is a right-handed bat that could provide some teams a solid option as an outfielder. The veteran joined the Angels in the offseason via trade but could be on the move once again — however, he hopes to stay and potentially sign an extension this offseason.

As for Moore, he has been stellar out of the bullpen for the Halos. He holds an ERA of 2.25 and a WHIP of 0.93. Moore has also struck out 25 batters over 28 innings of work.

He could give a contending team a strong left-handed option from the pen, and that alone could net the Angels something.

The organization only has a little more time to figure things out. But luckily, we should have more clarity on everything regarding this team shortly.
