Relief pitcher trade market has taken shape

[Second Base]

And there's a couple things to take note of. 

First, relief pitchers, even the good ones, aren't bringing back very good prospects at all, and this definitely plays a role in the Angels approach. 

First, if they're wanting to buy, it should hardly cost anything at all. However, most of the targets are already off the board. Gyvens, Hand and Diego Castillo have already switched teams. So the Angels are running out of time and options here. 

Second, if they're going to sell Raisel Iglesias, the return is likely to be pretty underwhelming. So you can either accept a not so exciting prospect in return, or they can keep him and try to compete and re-sign him.

No need to trade for an expiring contract reliever, Halos do need to remake the pen though!

Your move, sleepy Minasian!

I don’t think the Angels do much of anything

It’s never over until the clock strikes…. 4pm eastern?

They'll trade a no name infielder in A Ball for a guy with a five and a half ERA that just got DFA'd and celebrate like they accomplished something.
