Angels shake up coaching staff, fire Maddux and two assistants

The Los Angeles Angels fired pitching coach Mike Maddux along with assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti, naming Tim Leveque as interim pitching coach and Michael Wuertz as interim bullpen coach. Interim GM John Mozeliak said meetings with Manager Kurt Suzuki and players convinced him a change was necessary, citing underutilization of Trackman and biomechanics data as part of the reason. The Angels, 45-74, have the worst MLB record, and the club intends to push for better analytics utilization and accountability for the remainder of the season.

Angels Shake Up Pitching Staff with Trio of Firings

The Los Angeles Angels fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott, and bullpen coach Dom Chiti, with AA pitching coach Tim Leveque and assistant pitching coordinator Michael Wuertz stepping in as interim pitching coach and interim bullpen coach. Interim GM John Mozeliak said the changes aim to evaluate and elevate the pitching program with seven weeks left in the season. While Detmers and Soriano have had strong seasons, the Angels own MLB’s seventh-worst ERA and the worst walk rate, reflecting broader personnel limitations. Maddux, a longtime MLB pitching coach, is expected to land another coaching opportunity.

Deadline Day Unfolds on the Green as Angels Make Major Trades

Mike Trout hosted the Angels for a round at his Trout National private course on Aug. 3, the MLB trade deadline, only for the day to turn surreal as multiple Angels were traded: Brent Suter to the Braves, Jo Adell to the Guardians, Ryan Zeferjahn to the Cubs, Kirby Yates to the Pirates, and José Soriano to the Blue Jays, with a false Detmers trade report adding to the chaos.

AL West Deadline Shuffle Repositions Seattle's Rivals

Deadline-day moves across the AL West reshaped the race: Astros added outfield depth by trading for Daulton Varsho (Toronto) for Spencer Arrighetti; Angels staged a four-trade spree bringing in multiple prospects and immediate help; Rangers made several buys including Adam Macko after dealing Josh Smith and Josh Stephan; Athletics were largely quiet; Seattle had already landed Taylor Ward via Baltimore after a four-player swap with the White Sox — leaving Houston three games ahead of Seattle in the division.

Cubs Add Zeferjahn to Fortify Bullpen

The Cubs acquired right-handed reliever Ryan Zeferjahn from the Angels in exchange for catcher Moises Ballesteros and right-hander Mason McGwire. Zeferjahn has a 3.66 ERA in 51 2/3 innings this season with a 33.5% strikeout rate (elite by metrics), and advanced estimates like xERA (2.93) and SIERA (3.37) suggest he’s been better than the surface number. A strong June–present stretch (1.38 ERA, 41.9% K) highlights his strikeout ability, though he walks notably. He figures to slot into middle innings for Chicago’s bullpen behind a closer committee, while the Angels continue a deadline sell-off, having moved multiple players in recent days.

Blue Jays Heat Up Trade Talk on Soriano After Angels Deal

Blue Jays reportedly drew late trade interest in Jose Soriano after acquiring him from the Angels; Cubs were publicly linked but it’s unclear if they’re still involved. A flip before the 5 p.m. CT deadline seems unlikely given Soriano’s two remaining arbitration years and Toronto’s three-prospect return to the Angels, plus a need to line up another starting-pitcher deal. In short, this looks like due diligence, and Soriano is expected to stay in Toronto through deadline day.

Guardians land Jo Adell from Angels to bolster outfield

The Cleveland Guardians acquired outfielder Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for catcher Jacob Cozart, adding right‑handed power to their lineup with Adell likely stepping into right field; Angel Martinez could be involved in the broader deal, and Adell is under team control for one more season.

Guardians land Jo Adell, injecting lefty power from Angels

The Cleveland Guardians acquired outfielder Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for catching prospect Jacob Cozart, and designated Juan Brito for assignment to clear a roster spot. Adell brings left-handed power (152 wRC+ vs LHP over the past two years) but has limited production against right-handed pitching and is not a standout defender in left field; he is under team control through 2027. The move addresses the Guardians’ need vs. left-handed pitching and could pave the way for additional trades or roster tweaks.

Braves land veteran lefty Brent Suter as Angels deal Nacho Alvarez Jr.

The Atlanta Braves acquired left-handed reliever Brent Suter from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr., adding a veteran long-man to a bullpen stretched by injuries. Suter, 36, has worked 63 1/3 innings this season with a 4.12 ERA, throwing 87–89 mph fastballs and generating solid ground balls, while Alvarez—once a Braves prospect—has a .216/.277/.298 MLB line and limited big-league impact, with the Angels hoping a change of scenery jump-starts his development.

Angels Push for Arias as Neto Trade Talks Heat Up

The Angels are reportedly pushing to center a Zach Neto trade around Franklin Arias, Boston’s top prospect, in talks with the Red Sox. Arias, a 20-year-old who just reached Triple-A, has plus defense and big power and is viewed as a potential cornerstone, making the Sox’s ask steep. Neto is controllable for about 3.5 seasons and has 19 homers this year with a strong walk rate, but mixed defensive metrics and interest from other clubs (including the Rays) suggest the trade could involve more than a single offer. Boston has been seeking a shortstop bridge (Trevor Story rehabbing, Marcelo Mayer injury), and has reportedly balked at including Arias in deals, signaling this could be a protracted, multi-team negotiation rather than an imminent swap. The Angels may pivot to other assets if talks stall, keeping the situation fluid through to Monday and beyond.

Dodgers chase Tarik Skubal as deadline looms; Angels pivot to rebuild by selling

With Shohei Ohtani sidelined by knee inflammation, the Dodgers are pursuing Tarik Skubal to bolster their rotation as the Aug. 3 trade deadline nears, while the Angels, embracing a rebuild, are selling assets (including Logan O’Hoppe and Chase Silseth) and listening on others like Jo Adell, Reid Detmers and Zach Neto to jump-start their prospects-led path back to the postseason.

Angels in Talks to Send Silseth and O’Hoppe to Rangers

The Angels are reportedly trading Chase Silseth and Logan O’Hoppe to the Texas Rangers, with fan chatter focusing on who else might be in the package (including a prospect named Arredondo) and whether the return justifies the move. Reactions are mixed, ranging from endorsement of a bold deadline-era move to skepticism about the value for a team already retooling.

Windy City Duos Chase Detmers to Power Rotations

Rumors say the Cubs and White Sox have shown interest in Angels left-hander Reid Detmers ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Detmers, controllable through 2028 at a modest arbitration salary, owns a 4.05 ERA across 21 appearances this season with a 28% strikeout rate and a 7.5% walk rate. The Angels could seek multiple top prospects for a controllable pitcher with upside; the Cubs are thin in their rotation due to injuries, and the White Sox sit in a competitive AL Central spot while seeking rotation help and other upgrades. Detmers and teammate José Soriano remain affordable assets that could catalyze a multi-player deal.

Deadline Watch: Six MLB Teams Poised to Sell as Trade Window Narrows

Two weeks from the Aug. 3 deadline, six clubs are viewed as obvious sellers: Reds, Rockies, Royals, Angels, Mets and Giants, each with clear trade chips (Mets’ bullpen pieces; Angels’ Soriano/Detmers/Adell; Giants’ Ray/Mahle/Arraez; Reds’ Steer/Suárez/Stephenson; Royals’ Wacha/Lugo/Lane Thomas; Rockies’ Freeland/Feltner and relievers). Several other teams sit on the bubble, meaning the next 14 days will determine if they join the selling or buying side, making this deadline a fluid seller-forward market.
