Soriano Scratched From Start as Angels Eye Trade Deadline Deal
Los Angeles officially pulled Soriano from his Saturday start, with GM John Mozeliak citing trade deadline uncertainty as the direct reason.
The Angels announced Saturday that José Soriano will not make his scheduled start, with interim GM John Mozeliak explicitly linking the decision to trade deadline activity. Brent Suter will start a bullpen game in his place. Mozeliak stated the team is taking a prudent approach given the uncertainty of the next 48 hours before Monday's deadline. Soriano, 27, carries a 3.29 ERA and two years of remaining club control, making him one of the most coveted arms available.
