The Angels suffered from a complate lack of left-handed power in 2025. While the team did finish fourth in the entire league in home runs, the hole left by four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani has shown just how brutal the lack of a left-handed power bat in Anaheim has been.

While the rotation remains a huge need for the Angels to fix this offseason if they hope to contend in 2026, trading for one of these following names to fill out a balanced lineup will go a long way in helping the Angels end their 11-year playoff drought.
