Angels Rumors: Writer Thinks Halos Could Trade Starting Outfielder to Phillies
Trade speculations and rumors are in the air, and the rumors are mentioning the name of the Los Angeles Angels once again.
MLB.com Insider, Mark Feinsand, is one of those trade speculators that has written a piece on a great trade fit for every ball club in the majors.
The team in favor, the Philadelphia Phillies, are currently dealing with some missing pieces in their lineup. Due to injuries in the clubhouse, Phillies power-hitter and outfielder, Bryce Harper, is set to see some time at first-base, while another outfielder, Kyle Schwarber, is a full-time Designated Hitter.
Not the best of situations to deal with for a manager, so what do you do? Look for the missing piece in the trade market.
Feinsand has suggested that the Phillies target Angels outfielder, Hunter Renfroe, who's currently playing in the final year of his current contract and is set to become a free agent this offseason.
There's been a lot of talk about what the Angels are going to do with Shohei Ohtani, but he isn't the only player Anaheim can move on from. Especially with Arte Moreno's intentions to not give him away this summer, they can at least try to get someone else in exchange for another player.
As much as Renfroe has expressed he would like to stay this year and is willing to re-sign with the Angels during the offseason, this would probably be a move that would benefit both the Angels and the Phillies.
As we reach closer and closer to the August 1st Trade Deadline, there is no telling what the Angels are planning on doing, but one thing is certain - the entire baseball world has their eyes on them.
