Angels urged to pursue major changes ahead of trade deadline
Summary

With the MLB trade deadline approaching on August 3, Todd Frazier advocates for the Los Angeles Angels to undertake significant roster changes. Currently at the bottom of the American League West with a 39-61 record, the team has not made the postseason since 2014. Interim general manager John Mozeliak acknowledges that the organization must consider major moves, particularly regarding starting pitchers Reid Detmers and José Soriano, who may attract interest due to their long-term team control. Frazier emphasizes that simply patching the roster will not yield lasting results and calls for stronger leadership moving forward.
