Briefly

Do either of these slugging Angels outfielders make sense for a Blue Jays offseason trade?
"In recent news, MLB insider Jon Morosi indicated that the Los Angeles Angels are willing to listen to trade offers for two of their top sluggers. Those two intriguing players happen to be outfielders Taylor Ward and Jo Adell. For an organization that already hadn't had a sniff of the postseason for over a decade, it is quite surprising that they would want to deal two of their best offensive players while leaving their face of the franchise Mike Trout all alone to fight for the team."
"In the case for Ward, we are talking about a power producer who could easily eclipse 25 home runs and 75 RBIs per season. Last year, he managed to post the best numbers of his career with 86 runs scored, 31 doubles, 36 home runs and 103 RBIs, albeit with just a .228 average in 157 games played.

With both profiling quite similarly to each other, who would the Blue Jays want in a trade deal?"
Angels are open to trade offers for outfielders Taylor Ward and Jo Adell. Both players produced career-best power seasons in 2025: Ward with 36 home runs, 103 RBIs, 86 runs and a .228 average in 157 games; Adell with a .236 average, .778 OPS, 37 home runs and 98 RBIs in 152 games. Both profile as power-first hitters with middling batting averages. The Blue Jays seek offseason offence but already have ample outfield depth. Any trade evaluation must weigh added slugging against on-base concerns, defensive value, contract situations, and the cost in prospects or roster fit.
