As the entire baseball world prepped for what should be an exciting deadline, the Angels finally made their intentions clear by trading for relief pitchers Andrew Chafin and Luis García from the Washington Nationals. The Halos sent LHP Jake Eder and 1B prospect Sam Brown back to Washington, meaning they were able to bring in the relievers without giving up any truly valuable assets in the process. Eder was acquired for cash after the White Sox DFA'd him earlier this year, and Brown's a mid-tier prospect. Even though Eder and Brown are not marquee names, the Angels would not trade two young players in exchange for veteran relievers if they were not going for it!
