Angels news: Jo Adell trade proposal, power rankings, more

The Los Angeles Angels do not have much of a role for Jo Adell after trading for Hunter Renfroe. Taylor Ward and Mike Trout take up the other two outfield spots, meaning Adell is ticketed for AAA or the fourth outfielder spot. Mickey Moniak is in a similar boat.

With Adell not having much of a role here, the Angels should look to see if they can use him in a trade to help them in 2023.

One trade proposal found on the Locked on Angels podcast makes a lot of sense for the Angels.
