Angels Bolster Bullpen with Acquisition of Dominic Leone
The Los Angeles Angels made their final trade before the Trade Deadline, acquiring reliever Dominic Leone and cash from the Mets in exchange for prospect Jeremiah Jackson. This trade adds to the Angels' active deadline, which saw them acquire a total of seven players, including Eduardo Escobar, Mike Moustakas, and Randal Grichuk. General manager Perry Minasian is determined to push the team to the postseason, and with two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani becoming a free agent soon, the Angels are going all-in for the 2023 season. Leone, who has a 4.40 ERA this season, is expected to bolster the Angels' bullpen.
