Following the signing of Josh Hamilton, it was reported that
the Angels were expected to trade one of their outfielders. Beyond Morales,
this list also includes Mark Trumbo and Peter Bourjos. Bowden notes that Los
Angeles would prefer to hold onto Trumbo and Bourjos, making Morales a more
likely trade candidate.
Morales hit .273/.320/.467 with 26 doubles and 22 home runs
last season for the Angels. The 29-year-old owns a career line of
.281/.331/.491 over six seasons while manning first base, outfield and
designated hitter.
The Astros are in the market for a DH, while the Indians and
Rays could each use additional offense.
