The Los Angeles Angels are, once again, heading towards the bottom of the league in terms of win-loss record. It's not a surprise, as they aren't a serious postseason contender right now.
But, with this poor record comes the possibility of trades at the deadline. And while some players could be on the move, like Jorge Soler, there is plenty of attention on Jose Soriano and Mike Trout. Trout isn't going anywhere, but what about Soriano?
According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, the Angels' breakout starting pitcher is also not expected to go anywhere at this year's deadline. But why? Bowden revealed one reason, and it will not be changed anytime soon.
Why Angels likely won't trade Jose Soriano
"I also did not include Jose Soriano because the Angels have three more years of control for him," Bowden writes, "And if GM Perry Minasian didn't trade with only two months of control remaining, he's certainly not going to trade the ace he's finally developed with three years of team control."
