Soler is 5-for-42 with no extra-base hits and a 17/4 K/BB this month, leaving him with an awful .207/.280/.350 line for the season. It’s not like the Angels’ alternatives are really any better, but given his lack of defense and any ability to contribute on the basepaths, Soler is quite the liability when he’s not mashing.

As Feinsand notes, the Angels “have been hesitant to trade Ward during the past two years,” but he has a near $8 million salary and only one more year of club control, so this could finally be the time. Ward has 18 home runs in his first 69 games this season while also driving in 47 runs with a .741 OPS. He ranks in the 86th percentile in barrel rate and the 87th percentile in chase rate this season, and really turned his year around after a slow start. Feinsand lists the Guardians, Padres, Rays and Royals as potential trade partners.

He’s hit .271 with zero homers and 10 steals in 61 games this season at the Triple-A level.
