Angels News
Alek Manoah's return to the Angels has been more perplexing than inspiring, with odd comments that raised eyebrows rather than morale. Meanwhile, Josh Lowe continues to sink on the depth chart, signaling that the Angels may soon face the harsh reality of admitting their trade mistake. Despite last night's impressive 8-2 victory over the White Sox, the team sits at a disappointing 15-23 and struggles to find consistency, with the offense averaging a paltry 3.1 runs per game over the last week. The roster’s struggles could push the front office to make some tough decisions ahead of the trade deadline, as it’s clear this team needs more than just a few tweaks to contend. With the impending 2026 draft looming in the background, the Angels have to ask themselves if they’re building for the future or just treading water.
