Seahawks keen to trade down, even within division
Seattle Seahawks are open to trading down in the NFL draft, even with division rivals.
The Los Angeles Angels are considering a trade for Cy Young winner Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants, potentially strengthening their rotation. This move could help them compete more effectively in the AL West.

The Los Angeles Angels find themselves in a bit of a crossroads; sitting at 11-12 and third in the AL West, they could go all-in on contending this season, or be sellers at the deadline.
If they choose the former, there’s a trade out there that could give them a real shot to win the division. Sports Illustrated’s Ryan Shea proposes that the Angels reach out to another California team, the San Francisco Giants, for their Cy Young ace, Robbie Ray.
The trade would look like this:
Angels get: LHP Robbie Ray
Giants get: LAA No. 4 prospect RHP George Klassen, LAA No. 18 prospect RHP Walbert Urena, LAA No. 25 prospect RHP Ubaldo Soto
“The Angels make this trade because they are 11–12 and sitting third in the AL West, right on the edge of staying competitive but still inconsistent enough to need rotation help. After missing the playoffs every year since 2014, they’re motivated to finally push back into contention, and adding Robbie Ray gives them an immediate stabilizer at the top of the rotation,” Shea wrote.
The proposed trade involves the Angels acquiring Cy Young winner Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants.
Robbie Ray's contract is valued at $115 million.
Acquiring Robbie Ray could create a powerful 1-2 punch in the Angels' rotation, significantly boosting their chances of contending in the AL West.

So far this season, Ray has posted a 2-3 record, a 2.86 ERA, 31 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.094 over 28 innings pitched. Pair him with the blazing hot Jose Soriano, and the Angels have the meanest 1-2 punch in their division, and one of the scariest in the MLB.
If the Angels do get him, he could be a rental though. He’s in the final year of his five-year, $115 million contract, so if the Angels do well with him, they’ll need to re-sign him immediately.
Hopefully, they can land and re-sign him, as all signs point to the fact they could be contenders this season.
