Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington believes team can compete next season.
The Los Angeles Angels were expected to be one of the biggest sellers at the MLB trade deadline Tuesday. They were expected to trade pitcher Tyler Anderson, infielder Luis Rengifo, and outfielders Taylor Ward and Kevin Pillar, but ended up retaining all four players., who were both in contract years and were likely to depart in free agency, but could have given away several other players for a good return.
A reason for this unexpectedly quiet deadline is the Angels believe they can become contenders next year. While the Angels have remained one of MLB's worst teams with a 47-60 record, they have looked good at points in the season. The Angels have won six of their last nine games.
The Angels have not made the playoffs since 2014, so it would take a significant transition for them to become winners. Washington's comments indicate the Angels plan to have a busy offseason, but they will have to make several great moves to pull the team into contention.Eva graduated from UCLA in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Communication.
