This trade along with the trade last Wednesday of catcher Martin Maldonado signals that the LA Angels front office is looking toward the future. Not that the Angels are giving up the season just yet, but for all intents and purposes they thinking and building for the next couple of seasons.
It’s always sad to a player that is on your favorite team be traded away for some unknown prospects, but we have to trust that Angels general manager Billy Eppler and his staff knows what they are doing right now. The trades have given and will give some players such as Francisco Arcia a chance to step up and show what they can do.
