Among the standout players, Giolito boasts an impressive total of 60 wins, Moore has maintained a steady 2.30 ERA this season as a reliever, Lopez has achieved 55 pitches, and Renflow and Grichick have hit a remarkable 175 and 186 home runs, respectively. According to Passan, the team’s objective in acquiring these players is to reduce the overall annual salary, stating, “Now that the August trade deadline has passed, any transactions made will primarily focus on salary cuts. The remaining season will revolve around players’ salaries, which can be acquired simply by payment.”
The Angels, who adopted a “buyer” approach in the trade market before the August 1 (2nd) transfer deadline, successfully acquired Giolito and Lopez from the White Sox. The addition of Glicick from the Rockies aimed to propel the team into the postseason for the first time in nine years since 2014. However, their progress has halted, and as of August 29th, they have recorded 63 wins and 69 losses, leaving them trailing 11.5 games behind the wild card qualification range.
The five players, including Giolito, who were put on waivers, will become free agents (FA) at the end of the season. Looking towards the next season, the team seems destined for dismantlement. It appears that a shift towards younger talent is imminent.
