Angels cut Jorge Soler following MLB trade deadline moves

The Los Angeles Angels designated outfielder Jorge Soler for assignment on August 4, a day after trading several players to rebuild their roster. Soler, in the final year of a three-year, $42 million contract, struggled this season with a.203 batting average in 86 games. The Angels will owe a prorated portion of his 2026 salary if he is claimed by another team. This transaction follows a series of trades made by the Angels as they shift towards a youth movement, reflecting a commitment to rebuilding after a disappointing season.
