Good morning Angels fans! I am having a great time, have some links!
Angels News
The Angels have won the first 2 games in Yankee Stadium this series. Both shutouts!
In fact, this is the first time the Angels did this since 1999. Some Angels players weren’t even alive at that time. It was also the Yankees’ 3rd time being shutout in a row. 29 straight innings without scoring. The MLB record is 48.
Shaun Anderson is back on the team AGAIN. For the 3rd time this season, he has signed with the Angels. First in the offseason, then after being cut earlier in the year, and then after being cut AGAIN on the 13th.
The Angels bullpen has improved a ton lately. So much, as they now have the 8th best ERA in the last 30 days. Maybe even better, as Fangraphs may update between when I am writing this and when you are reading it.

Devers trade was huge, and we are still getting info from how much of a disaster the Red Sox FO is going right now. They just fired their scouting supervisor. And, apparently, they are using Ai to interview people. For 5 rounds of interviews. Oh and they blame Devers for not being a team player, with David Ortiz criticizing him publicly.
As for the player traded, he seems to be open to play wherever the Giants need him. Plot gets thicker.
Seriously, this trade shocked everyone. (paywall)
Nick Castellanos 236 consecutive game streak ended. He was about 2K away from the record, but still. Apparently he was benched for mouthing off?
It seems like MLB teams these days are cracking down about Latin American players lying about their age. Mets top prospect got caught lying about his age and will not sign.
The Rockies have been a laughingstock this year, but their June has been better, going 7-8 so far. Also they became just the 2nd team since 1901 to hit 7 home runs in a game with less than 11 hits total.
Portland agrees to pay 800 Million US dollars to get an MLB team. It would be nice having one there.
