Angels Have Discussed Jeimer Candelario Trade
1 year agoThe Los Angeles Angels have discussed a trade for Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario, in addition to their recently completed deal with the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night for right-handers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, according to a source. The Angels didn't wait long to get busy on the trade market after announcing Wednesday afternoon that they took two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani off the trade market. The Halos are clearly going for it, and they could use an upgrade at the hot corner with both Anthony Rendon (shin) and Brandon Drury (shoulder) on the injured list. The 29-year-old switch-hitting Candelario is having a solid season with 16 home runs and 51 RBI in 94 games for the Nats, but a trade to Anaheim could mean fewer playing time once all of their corner-infield options get healthy next month.
