Angels News
After a tough 2-7 loss to the Cubs, the Angels are scrambling for answers, especially with Yoán Moncada's struggles prompting calls to bench him in favor of Jeimer Candelario. Mike Trout continues to shine, boasting a .353 average, defying worries of an impending decline reminiscent of Ken Griffey Jr. 2026 is looking better for Trout fans, but the pitching staff has been a letdown, allowing 5.8 runs per game over the last week. José Soriano's performance on a frigid night in Chicago showcased potential, but the Angels need more consistency as they prepare for a rematch against the Cubs. With Trout and Nolan Schanuel both hitting .350, there's hope, but the team must tighten up on the mound to turn this season around.
