Angels deal Luis Garcia, hold other potential trade pieces

The Angels reportedly sent right-handed relief pitcher Luis Garcia to the Boston Red Sox in a deal just before the Tuesday trade deadline, while the club held on to players like starting pitcher Tyler Anderson, infielder Luis Rengifo and outfielders Taylor Ward and Kevin Pillar.

There had been reported interest in all four players, but the Angels apparently did not find an offer they felt was sufficient. Anderson, Rengifo and Ward all remain under control for at least one more season.

Garcia, who is a free agent at the end of the season, has a 3.71 ERA in 43⅔ innings this season.

The return for Garcia was not immediately apparent.

In a smaller move, the Angels picked up right-hander Mike Baumann from the San Francisco Giants, in exchange for cash considerations.

Baumann, 28, has a 4.41 ERA in 34⅔ innings with three teams this season. He started the season with the Baltimore Orioles, was traded to the Seattle Mariners and then was purchased by the San Francisco Giants. He was designated for assignment by the Giants last week.

Baumann had a 3.76 ERA in 60 games with the Orioles last season.
