What I’m hearing ahead of MLB trade deadline: Angels’ opening salvo, Hunter Greene and more - The Athletic

John Mozeliak, serving as Los Angeles Angels interim general manager, made his first trade on Wednesday night, sending right-handed reliever Chase Silseth (under club control for four more seasons) and catcher Logan O'Hoppe (two more years of control) to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Class-A shortstop Angel Arredondo. The trade marks an unusual move for Mozeliak, who rarely dealt players with multiple years of club control during his 18-year tenure running the St. Louis Cardinals. Bigger and more significant trade deadline decisions are expected to follow for the Angels in the coming days, with other teams like the Orioles, Rockies, and Blue Jays also navigating complex deadline situations.
