Los Angeles Angels “Would You Rather?” Division Race Edition

With the AL West becoming one of the most highly contested division races in the game, we ask our baseball contributors “Would You Rather the Angels trade for a reliever or a starter to stay in contention with the Mariners and Astros?”

Welcome to the wild west. In downtown LA we have theDodgers, who are dangerously close to first place, and just south-east of them we have the Los AngelesAngels, who are falling behind in the division but show no signs of falling out of contention. I mean, can a team withMike Trout,Shohei Ohtani,Albert PujolsandJustin Uptonever be truly out of the race?

We’re about to find out.

The Astros are very much in contention; they are still the favorites to win that division, but the Mariners are starting to heat up.James Paxtonthrew a no-hitter in May, andJean Segura,Mitch Haniger, andEdwin Diazare leading that team. Though I’m not sure the Mariners recent dominance will last, they sure going to make the wild card race more interesting. And that is a race the Angels plan to be right in the middle of.

I haven’t counted out the Angels yet, and neither should you. Anything could happen; we haven’t even reached the All-Star break yet.

So, as the Angels look to bridge the five-game division deficit they currently face, we ask our team of baseball contributors “Would you rather the Angels trade for a reliever or a starter in order to stay in contention?”

Let’s discuss.
