Angels Acquire Chafin, Garcia in Trade Deadline Move
The Los Angeles Angels baseball team traded for two new pitchers, Andrew Chafin and Luis Garcia, to help their team.
In return, they gave up two players to the Washington Nationals.
Chafin has a good record but needs to improve his strikeouts.
Garcia has pitched for different teams this year and has a decent record.
This move helps the Angels without giving up too much, especially as they want to win with their star player, Mike Trout.
The Los Angeles Angels acquired relievers Andrew Chafin and Luis Garcia from the Washington Nationals.
The Nationals received left-hander Jake Eder and first baseman Sam Brown in exchange.
Andrew Chafin has a 2.70 ERA this season, but his strikeout and walk rates are underwhelming.
Luis Garcia has a 4.10 ERA this year and has pitched for the Dodgers and Nationals.
The Angels acquired both players to bolster the team without sacrificing high-value assets.
