The #Angels are in fact getting Cameron Maybin from the Tigers. Unclear yet who they send to DET. Guess that takes care of LF. More to come.

Buster Olney of ESPN shared his thoughts on the news.
The Angels have some money available this winter and need more lineup depth, which is why deal for Cameron Maybin makes sense.

Maybin is a former first round pick in the 2010 MLB Draft to the Tigers. He has spent time with the Tigers, Florida Marlins, San Diego Padres, and the Atlanta Braves throughout his career.
Last season with the Tigers he appeared in 94 games and hit .315. He recorded 110 hits and stole 15 bases. Anaheim is looking to revamp their team after a disappointing season.
