Yankees may target Angels for potential trade options
Summary

The Los Angeles Angels could become trade partners for the New York Yankees amid a disappointing season. Despite having talents like Mike Trout, the Angels are far from playoff contention. A newly appointed interim general manager, John Mozeliak, faces pressure regarding potential trades, particularly with a surplus of pitching talent. However, ownership appears reluctant to enter a full rebuild, leading to speculation on whether key players will be made available.
