What happened: The front office is evaluating players under club control beyond 2026 as it considers the depth of a potential sale. MLB's trade deadline is Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET.
Why it matters: Los Angeles has not reached the postseason since 2014, increasing pressure to convert current value into longer-term help. A market with few clear sellers could strengthen its negotiating position.
By the numbers: The Angels are 42-67 (.385), 25 games below .500. They are 4-8 since entering the All-Star break at 38-59.
What to watch: Watch whether Mozeliak moves controllable players or limits the sale to shorter-term contracts before Monday's deadline.
