See the full story · 1 sourcesWe have ourselves a trade between AL West rivals! The Los Angeles Angels -- who are clearly sellers as the 2026 MLB trade deadline approaches next week -- sent catcher Logan O'Hoppe and RHP Chase Silseth to the Texas Rangers for minor leaguer Angel Arredondo.
Did the Angels get a ton back for a reliever having a terrific season and a catcher who once had a 20-homer season? Not really. But maybe they weren't going to get a ton back anyway.
As always, let's hand out some trade grades for each side of this one, with the details of each side of this deal:
Rangers and Angels trade details
Rangers get: C Logan O'Hoppe, RHP Chase Silseth
Angels get: Minor league INF Angel Arredondo
Rangers trade grade
This is fairly simple: They didn't give up a top-20 prospect and got back a catcher who could use a change of scenery and a relief pitcher who has nearly 40 innings and 2.72 ERA.

Angels trade grade
