KANSAS CITY – The Angels began the final week before the trading deadline with one of their most attractive assets on the mound.
Hector Santiago had a decent performance in front of watchful scouts, allowing two runs and pitching into the sixth inning of the Angels’ 6-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
Santiago is one of the few available quality starting pitchers on the market. However, it’s hard to say just how eager the Angels would be to trade him.
Santiago is under control for 2017, and the Angels currently only have two other healthy major league starters under control for next year, Matt Shoemaker and Tyler Skaggs.
