The Los Angeles Angels continued to unload players under interim general manager John Mozeliak, sending outfielder Jo Adell to the Cleveland Guardians for catching prospect Jacob Cozart, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Adell, who is not eligible for free agency until after the 2027 season, is the fourth controllable player moved by Mozeliak, following trades of reliever Chase Silseth and catcher Logan O’Hoppe to the Texas Rangers, and starting pitcher Jose Soriano to the Toronto Blue Jays. Veteran reliever Brent Suter, a pending free agent, was also dealt to the Atlanta Braves.
The Angels have also been fielding a lot of interest in shortstop Zach Neto (controllable through 2029) and starting pitcher Reid Detmers (2028) and could move them before the 6 p.m. PT deadline.
