SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- One moment, Arjun Nimmala was sleeping, a member of the Blue Jays organization. The next time he opened his eyes, he was a member of the Angels. Life -- and the Trade Deadline -- comes at you fast. Nimmala, now MLB’s No. 34 prospect, was swapped as

Bobby Fontaine Jr., a longtime baseball executive, scout and scouting director who spent 48 years in the industry, died on Friday, the Angels announced. He was 73. Fontaine, the son of former Padres general manager Bob Fontaine Sr., worked for several clubs, getting his start with the Padres as a

PEORIA, Ariz. –- Up until this point, Jake Munroe has had a habit of flying under the radar despite outstanding performances wherever he’s played. If Arjun Nimmala -- his Angels teammate and MLB's No. 34 prospect -- has anything to say about it, that will end during their time in

ANAHEIM -- A day after the Angels suffered their first 100-loss season in franchise history, interim general manager John Mozeliak met with the media at Angel Stadium on Monday and said his future beyond December is undetermined, but that he’d like to keep Kurt Suzuki as manager.

SEATTLE -- Of all the decisions the Angels made ahead of the 2026 season, moving left-hander Reid Detmers back into the rotation was perhaps their smartest move. Detmers had a breakout season and put an exclamation point on it with a dominant showing in a 7-5 win over the Mariners
