Angels, Blue Jays Mull Trades Amid Struggles

The Los Angeles Angels, after a strong start to the 2025 MLB season, have seen their record fall to 12-14 amid a slump that has weakened their offense and sparked trade speculation. Left-hander Tyler Anderson, who holds a 2.60 ERA, and veteran reliever Kenley Jansen, signed on a one-year deal, are now considered top trade candidates if the team's struggles continue. Both could be moved at the deadline to help the Angels retool for the future. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays are also enduring a difficult stretch with a five-game losing streak, and ace Chris Bassitt may become available as a trade asset if their playoff hopes fade. These developments have both organizations weighing the benefits of immediate competitiveness against long-term rebuilding as the trade deadline approaches.
