On August 5, 2026, the Los Angeles Angels traded Logan O'Hoppe and Chase Silseth to the Texas Rangers for minor-league infielder Angel Arredondo. Jim Bowden, former Cincinnati Reds general manager, labeled it the worst trade of the deadline, criticizing the meager return for two controllable players. Silseth, who had a solid season with a 2.72 ERA, is viewed as the more valuable asset lost in the deal. Meanwhile, O'Hoppe has struggled significantly in his time with the Angels, showing limited offensive output. Arredondo, 19, joins the Angels organization after performing decently in Class-A prior to the trade.
