With the Angels still unable to get above the .500 mark and the MLB trade deadline quickly approaching, the eyes of the fan base are slowly moving towards 2026 and beyond. With a slew of starting pitching available this winter as well as MVP candidate Kyle Tucker of the Chicago Cubs likely hitting free agency, the Halos may be wise to go into the deadline hoping to create as much salary space as possible so Arte Moreno can make his signature free agency splash this winter (although hopefully this one is better than the last three, or four, or five).
How much salary space can the Angels create at trade deadline?
