Angels Notes: Blockbuster Trade Prediction, Pitcher Shockingly Placed on 60-Day IL, Major Trade Proposal

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers, 11-8, in an electric Wednesday evening contest. Mike Trout hit a pair of bombs as Travis d'Arnaud and Jorge Soler crushed long balls of their own as the Halos improved to 45-47 on the year.
Additionally, the Angels are predicted to land an All-Star infielder by a top insider. With the trade deadline looming, the Halos have tons of decisions to make regarding which direction they will head towards.
Unfortuantely, a key reliever was transfered to the 60-day IL. The right hander had a 3.27 ERA across 22 innings of work this season.
Finally, another trade proposal is brewing as the would-be deal gets the Angels a pair of two top prospects. Unfortunately it would be at the expense of two key pieces on the roster.
