The Los Angeles Angels lost to the Athletics, 10-4, on Friday and fell to 66-75 on the year.

In a scary development, a member of High-A Tri-City was involved in a car accident on Friday and is currently in critical condition. Friday's game against the Hillsboro Hops was cancelled following the incident.

In major league news, the Halos are linked to an All-Star infielder who is set to become a free agent after this season. The three-time All-Star is having one of the best seasons of his already accolade-filled career.

Finally, a key Angels insider named former first baseman Albert Pujols as a candidate to be the team's next manager. The future Hall of Famer is currently set to manage the Dominican Republic team at the 2026 World Baseball Classic and led Leones del Escogido to the 2025 Caribbean Series title.
