US EditionAngels Acquire Relievers Chafin and García From Nationals in Trade for Lefty Eder, Prospect Brown
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – The Angels traded two minor-leaguers to add bullpen depth with Garcia and Chafin as they hold a 5.3% playoff chance, according to FanGraphs.
- On July 30, 2025, the Los Angeles Angels bolstered their bullpen by trading minor league pitchers Jake Eder and Sam Brown to the Washington Nationals in return for experienced relievers Luis Garcia and Andrew Chafin.
- The trade aimed to improve the Angels' bullpen, which had a 4.99 ERA entering the move, amid a playoff chase where they were four games out of the final American League wild-card spot.
- Luis Garcia, 38, allowed just one run over 10 innings in his initial 10 appearances with the Nationals after starting the year with the Dodgers, while 35-year-old Andrew Chafin held a 2.70 ERA across 26 outings for Washington this season.
- Jake Eder, 26, a former top prospect, appeared in eight games out of the bullpen for the Angels this season, posting a 4.91 ERA prior to the trade, while 23-year-old Brown recorded a.244 batting average playing at Double-A Rocket City.
- This move increases the Angels' bullpen depth and suggests they view their current position—53-55 and fighting for a playoff spot—as a chance to contend rather than sell at the deadline.
