The Los Angeles Angels made a big splash in the MLB trade market on Tuesday, acquiring third baseman Mike Moustakas from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Angels had been looking to upgrade their infield and Moustakas provides a much-needed boost to their lineup. The Angels sent minor league infielder Kody Eaves and a player to be named later to the Brewers in exchange for Moustakas.
Moustakas, a two-time All-Star, is coming off a strong season with the Brewers, hitting .254 with 28 home runs and 95 RBIs. He is expected to provide a major upgrade for the Angels at third base, where they have struggled offensively this season. Moustakas is also a solid defender and should help shore up the Angels’ infield defense.
The move comes after the Angels routed the Colorado Rockies in Denver on Tuesday night, winning 16-2. The Angels have been struggling of late, but this win was an encouraging sign that they may be turning things around. The addition of Moustakas should help them continue their momentum and make a push for a playoff spot.
The Angels are hoping that Moustakas can help them make a deep run in the postseason. He is a proven veteran who can provide leadership and experience to a young Angels team. With Moustakas in the lineup, the Angels should be able to compete with the top teams in the American League.
The Angels have made a bold move in acquiring Mike Moustakas from the Brewers. He should provide a major upgrade to their infield and help them make a push for the playoffs. The Angels will be hoping that Moustakas can help them make a deep run in the postseason and bring a championship to Los Angeles.
