The Los Angeles Angels’ biggest priority this offseason has been upgrading the starting pitching on the roster.
The biggest name linked with the Halos has been reigning National League Cy Young award winner Blake Snell. The former San Diego Padres left-hander was special in 2023, posting an ERA of 2.25 over 32 starts.
The Angels have reportedly made Snell their priority this offseason, and they are being aggressive in trying to land him. This approach could work out in their favor, as it seems his market may not be as booming as once thought to be.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Snell is not without doubts among some large-market clubs. This may put him in the Angels’ laps during the offseason.
“Big-market teams genuinely wonder if he could withstand the scrutiny and pressure of making a pitch in their city. The Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, and New York Mets have retreated, at least for the time being, for a reason. Snell, thirty-one, might easily land in the Angels’ laps.”
The Angels’ future success depends on this offseason, so the front office needs to make the right choices. The pressure is undoubtedly on them this winter because they cannot afford any more mistakes when it comes to developing the roster.
