MLB Trade Deadline: Angels, Cubs, Mariners in Focus as Unusual Moves Loom

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, several teams are worth keeping an eye on. The Angels, despite rumors, are unlikely to trade Shohei Ohtani due to their recent success and his potential for a 60-homer season. The Cubs, despite their struggles, have won five of their last six games and may decide to keep key players like Marcus Stroman and Cody Bellinger. The Mariners, currently half a game behind the Angels, face a crucial road trip that could determine their fate. Meanwhile, the Hall of Fame induction of Fred McGriff and Scott Rolen sparks nostalgia and anticipation for next year's ballot, which will include players from the post-PED era.
