Angels Waive Multiple Players Including Giolito, Moore, López, Renfroe, and Grichuk

The Los Angeles Angels have placed several players, including Lucas Giolito, Matt Moore, Reynaldo López, Hunter Renfroe, and Randal Grichuk, on waivers in an attempt to save money and allow them to join playoff contenders before the September 1 cutoff. The Angels' disappointing season, coupled with injuries to Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, has led them to abandon their playoff hopes. The move also has luxury tax implications for the team. Other players, including Carlos Carrasco, Mike Clevinger, José Cisnero, and Harrison Bader, have also been placed on waivers by their respective teams.
