Angels Reunite with Former Hitters in Rockies Trade

The Los Angeles Angels have acquired outfielder Randal Grichuk and first baseman C.J. Cron from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for right-hander Jake Madden and left-hander Mason Albright. The Angels have been active in trades this month as they aim to make the playoffs and address roster needs. Grichuk and Cron, both former Angels players, will provide offensive depth to a team dealing with injuries. Grichuk is having a strong season at the plate, while Cron has been hitting better recently. The Rockies add two young arms to their organization as they continue to search for pitchers who can succeed at Coors Field.
