Los Angeles Angels trade O'Hoppe, Silseth as rebuild looms
The Los Angeles Angels have begun a roster overhaul, sending pitcher Chase Silseth and catcher Logan O'Hoppe to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for 19‑year‑old infield prospect Angel Arredondo. The moves follow a season in which the Angels sit at 42‑56, tied for the worst record in Major League Baseball, and have been linked to a possible trade of shortstop Zach Neto, a 25‑year‑old on pace for a third straight 20‑home‑run season who is drawing interest from multiple clubs.
Meanwhile, the Houston Astros, sitting at 53‑55, have announced they will be buyers at the upcoming trade deadline. General manager Dana Brown said the team is targeting an outfielder and listed Jake McCarthy, Mickey Moniak, Jo Adell, Lars Nootbaar and Daulton Varsho as potential targets. The Astros also confirmed that shortstop Jeremy Peña is off‑limits, noting his .314 average, 11 home runs, 30 RBIs and an OPS above .860.
In recent on‑field action, the Angels fell 3‑2 to the Astros, with Yordan Alvarez delivering the decisive RBI in the ninth inning.
