A fire sale looks like a good scenario for the Los Angeles Angels, which starts down in the farm system with restocking it with prospects.
GM Billy Eppler told OC Register on Tuesday that no trade talks are in the mix even with the deadline right around the corner. Another reality check is that the franchise is cut short as far anyone who another team would think to acquire.
The only two assets that might be trade caliber is third baseman Yunel Escobar and reliever Joe Smith. Albert Pujols‘s contract is too valuable and Mike Trout is just into his prime and getting rid of the face of the franchise would be an abomination to the fans.
