Angels Target Trade for Rays' Brandon Lowe

The Los Angeles Angels are pursuing potential improvements to their roster as the offseason progresses, eyeing Gleyber Torres and Jorge Polanco as free agent infielders, though reports suggest neither is interested in signing due to the franchise's struggles and ownership issues. Torres, a two-time All-Star, could be a fit for the Angels, who are projected to make a three-year, $45 million bid, but their reputation may hinder their appeal. Meanwhile, the Angels are considering trading for Brandon Lowe from the Tampa Bay Rays, although the Rays recently exercised his contract option for 2025, complicating matters. Additionally, the Angels are exploring trade opportunities for starting pitcher Pablo López, who might be available if the Twins decide to sell high amid rising starting pitcher prices across the league. The Angels have made some acquisitions, including Yusei Kikuchi, but will need further strategic moves to enhance their competitiveness next season. As the offseason unfolds, the Angels' ability to attract talent remains uncertain given their long-standing postseason drought and management issues.
