The Los Angeles Angels are nearing completion of a three-team trade that would send Mark Trumbo to the Diamondbacks, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.

The trade will send Trumbo to Arizona along with 2 prospects, while the White Sox receive outfielder Adam Eaton, and the Angels get pitchers Tyler Skaggs and Hector Santiago.
