The Angels have reportedly been getting calls about Hector Santiago and they’re listening. This story was first reported by ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick on twitter. This story is a surprise considering Santiago has been close to the best pitcher for the Angels this season.
There have also been some speculation that Matt Shoemaker’s name is also being asked for within those calls. Santiago has an 8-4 record with a ERA of 4.32 and 96 strikeouts this season. Shoemaker has a 5-10 record with a ERA of 3.99 and 115 strikeouts this season.
Moving Santiago may seem rash in the short-term.
