MLB Rumors: Arte Moreno Withdrew Angels From Joc Pederson-Ross Stripling Trade, But Dodgers Felt Deal Was ‘Unnecessary’

Shortly after the Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a three-team trade with the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins last week, a secondary deal was struck with the L.A. Angels.

That trade called for the Dodgers to send Joc Pederson, Ross Stripling and prospect Andy Pages to Anaheim in exchange for Luis Rengifo and one or two Minor League players. The agreed-upon trade helped the Dodgers alleviate a logjam in the outfield and remain under the luxury tax threshold.

However, it was also contingent on the Dodgers first completing their blockbuster with the Red Sox and Twins.
