The Los Angeles Angels made an enormous trade to land a World Series-winning right-hander in exchange for a southpaw who has been with the organization since 2015. The former Atlanta Braves pitcher was a former No. 3 overall MLB Draft pick and once considered a No. 2 prospect.

Despite the former prospect starting all 60 of his major league appearances, manager Ron Washington announced that he will begin the season in the bullpen. This will be a new position for the right-hander, but he will be joining a formidable bullpen this year.

Finally, three-time MVP Mike Trout revealed a major goal that he has for this season. Trout will also be playing in a new position in 2025, but hopes to do something that the Halos havent seen since 2014.
