DENVER — The Angels added another big bat and additional depth at first base by acquiring Mike Moustakas from the Rockies in a trade that was announced shortly after the Angels’ 25-1 win over Colorado on Saturday night.
The Angels sent the Rockies minor league right-handed pitcher Connor Van Scoyoc in exchange for the 34-year-old Moustakas, who was batting .270 with seven doubles, four home runs and 17 RBI in 47 games with Colorado. He joined the Rockies on March 5, signing a minor league deal in early March.
The Angels designated Kevin Padlo for assignment after the game to make room on the roster for Moustakas.
