Angels Listening To Offers On Taylor Ward, Luis Rengifo
5 months agoThe Los Angeles Angels are listening to trade offers on outfielder Taylor Ward and utility man Luis Rengifo, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Rengifo is under team control through 2025 and Ward through 2026. Feinsand further emphasized that many front-office executives believe that the two players will be dealt by Tuesday's deadline. Ward enjoyed a nice start to the summer through May with a .268/.33/.469 line but has cooled off since June 1 with a much lower .168/.277/.292 line. However, he holds a 13.5% barrel rate and 42.9% hard-hit rate, which suggests he should be turning the corner very soon. Rengifo is on pace to set career highs in most statistics with a .304/.347/.426 slash line and an eye-catching 23 swiped bags. Both players will be very useful for a team looking to compete this fall and should provide the Angels with a solid package of prospects.
