We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Angels.
TeamReport discusses the Los Angeles Angels moves:
“The Los Angeles Angels returned to the playoffs in 2014 after a four-year absence, putting together the best record in the major leagues. But after surprisingly swift exit from the playoffs, thanks to a sweep by the Kansas City Royals, the Angels were left to ask, “What now?”
The answer is: not much.
While the Angels were disappointed in the end of the season, so much went right throughout the course of six months from April through September that there isn’t much that needs fixing.
Mike Trout won the American League MVP, Jered Weaver tied for the league lead with 18 wins, Garrett Richards emerged as a potentially dominant starting pitcher, Matt Shoemaker came out of nowhere to win 16 games, Erick Aybar was an All-Star and Gold Glove-caliber shortstop, and the bullpen went from being a weakness to being one of the best in the league with the addition of Joe Smith, Huston Street, Jason Grilli and Fernando Salas.”

Here’s what you need to know from the Winter Meetings:
“FINISH WITH A FLOURISH
The winter meetings ended with a flurry of big deals that realigned the stars. Hours after late night deals sent All-Star Howie Kendrick across Los Angeles from the Angels to Dodgers and the Dodgers sent Dee Gordon and Dan Haren to Miami, teams were at it again at sunrise. The Marlins acquired Mat Latos from the Reds, who also sent starter Alfredo Simon to Detroit. Soon after, the Tigers shipped Rick Porcello to Boston for Yoenis Cespedes.”
