Trade Deadline Outlook: Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels, currently tied for the worst record in baseball, are on track for their 11th straight losing season, leading to the unexpected firing of General Manager Perry Minasian. Speculation about Minasian's job security had been swirling since his contract's guaranteed end in 2026, but the decision came earlier than anticipated. This move signals a major shift for the team as they look to revamp their roster and strategy, potentially setting the stage for a rebuild ahead of the trade deadline. The firing underscores the urgency and pressure to turn around the team's fortunes.
