Angels Targeting Young Catcher Ahead of Trade Deadline
Interim GM John Mozeliak is prioritizing a young catcher acquisition as Los Angeles enters the deadline in full sell mode.
The Angels enter the trade deadline as sellers with interim GM John Mozeliak, formerly of the Cardinals, running the front office. Mozeliak has identified acquiring a young catcher as a key priority, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon. Current catcher Logan O'Hoppe, 26, has seen both his offense and defense decline after a solid 2024 campaign in which he hit .244/.303/.409 with 20 home runs. The Angels originally acquired O'Hoppe from Philadelphia in the 2022 Brandon Marsh trade.
