Angels Notes: Halos Make Massive Roster Move, Cut Former All-Star, Blockbuster Trade Idea

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels lost to the New York Yankees, 1-0, on Wednesday. They have dropped five in a row and fell to 25-30.
Ahead of the eventual series sweep, the Halos made a massive roster move that designated a pair of veterans — one of which earned two All-Star honors over the course of his career — for assignment. The roster shift also activated a player signed in January 2024 who finally debuted in an Angels uniform on Wednesday.
Additionally, an injury-prone Angels infielder has been linked to the New York Yankees among other teams in what would be a major trade deadline move. Although this is his first season on the team, the would-be return might be too good to refuse if an offer was on the table.

Mike Trout hit against a minor league pitcher today. He also ran the bases more aggressively than yesterday, but not 100%.
