ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) 鈥� The Los Angeles Angels traded reliever Chase Silseth and struggling catcher Logan O鈥橦oppe to the Texas Rangers for minor league third baseman Angel Arredondo on Wednesday night.
The deal, announced a few minutes before the Angels鈥� series finale against the Houston Astros, could mark the beginning of an extensive rebuilding process for the Angels, who entered play Wednesday with an American League-worst 42-66 record and 13 1/2 games behind the Rangers in the AL West.
鈥淲e know we have to start shaking up this roster, and today was day one,鈥� Angels interim general manager John Mozeliak said. 鈥淐learly, where the Angels are at right now, we need to do things differently.鈥�
Silseth, 26, was one of the Angels鈥� top relievers, going 3-2 with a 2.72 ERA in 47 games this year. O鈥橦oppe, 26, appeared in 75 games, batting .209 with 23 RBIs.
Arredondo, 19, hit .247 with eight home runs, 15 doubles and 47 RBIs in 86 games for low-A Hickory this season. He signed with the Rangers as an international free agent out of Mexico in 2024.
