The Los Angeles Angels for sometime have ranked last or close to it in farm system rankings. They’ve traded young talent and draft picks in exchange for Major League ready talent.

Dan Haren, Zack Greinke , Mark Teixeira and Huston Street are some of the more noteworthy and noticeable names the Los Angeles Angels have traded for in the past decade to help push their club over the hump into playoff contention.
