2 targets the Angels should trade for immediately to wake up struggling rotation

Yes, the Angels have only used five starting pitchers this season but that does not mean the unit has been good. Angels starters have a 9.16 H/9 (MLB rank: 27th), a 7.39 K/9 (MLB rank: 26th), a 3.69 BB/9 (MLB rank: 28th) and a 1.43 WHIP (MLB rank: 29th). That's absolutely brutal, especially given how dominant Yusei Kikuchi has been. The Angels' lone All-Star representative leads the starters in virtually every statistic and has been an absolute workhorse -- no one in baseball has more starts than Kikuchi.

José Soriano is a fine pitcher, but he's clearly not good enough right now to be a no.
