reportedly deciding to keep Shohei Ohtani and instead push for the playoffsThe Angels acquired right-handed starter Lucas Giolito and right-handed reliever Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night in exchange for left-handed pitcher Ky Bush and catcher Edgar Quero. Bush and Quero were two of the Angels’ top prospects.
The money committed to the trades for Giolito and Lopez will push the Angels above the $233 million threshold for the luxury tax.The news came hours after a report from Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci indicating that the Angels had decided not trade Ohtani, but to instead make a push for the franchise’s first playoff appearance since 2014.
Since then, the Angels have won seven of their last nine games. The Angels are set to begin a three-game series in Toronto on Friday. They have a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, following a rainout on Wednesday.
