Angels Official Website: Angels' all-time Top 5 in-season trades

[AngelsWin.com]

Angels history isn't necessarily littered with shrewd in-season trades, but there have been a few gems along the way. Alden Gonzalez ranks the top in-season trades the Angels have made, in anticipation for the non-waiver Trade Deadline that's now only a couple weeks away.

The Figgins trade wins by a country mile.

 

The Teix trade is definately next, because not only did he give much needed production the rest of the 2008 season, and not only did we already have a 1B in waiting in Morales should Teix leave, I also believe that Grichuk (extra draft pick in 2009) will be a rock solid MLB player down the road. 

The Sutton trade alllowed the Halos to add a solid pitcher for the 1986 season, and to of course see win #300 in Anaheim.

 

Johnny Ray was also a solid acquisition in late August 1987, although that wasn't a true trade deadline deal but one requiring clearing waivers to acquire.

He had a very solid September 1987, and then had a very solid 1988 (ASG participant) and 2 decent seasons after that and held the club record for doubles in a season (42 in 1988) until GA broke it in 2002.

Didn't realize that Figgins was traded midseason.  Thought he was an offseason move.

Why is the Haren trade 5th? Lol.

What I don't understand are all the gripes at the end of the article. That's a totally separate topic. Some people love to be miserable.

I miss Figgins.

 

Did not see the Greinke trade  will have to wait for the all-time bottom 5 in-season trades.

What no Dante Bichette and prospects for Dave Parker?

Even though Haren was good for a while I'd still say that one is questionable.
