JUST IN: Trade Proposal Sends Los Angeles Angels Veteran Slugger to AL Contenders – Is a Deal on the Horizon
After a disappointing 99-loss season in 2024, the Los Angeles Angels could consider rebuilding, with outfielder Taylor Ward being a potential trade candidate. Ward, who posted career highs in home runs and RBIs, will be a free agent next year. However, with other teams expressing interest, the Angels seem likely to retain him for 2025, hoping to contend with their current roster.
The Kansas City Royals have shown interest in acquiring Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm and Angels outfielder Taylor Ward. While Ward posted solid numbers in 2024, the Angels’ high asking price in trade talks may be a hurdle. The Royals, coming off a playoff appearance in 2024, are looking to improve their roster, particularly in the outfield. However, discussions with both teams have yet to gain momentum. Kansas City is also exploring a potential deal for Reds infielder Jonathan India.f
