Jorge Soler was acquired by the Los Angeles Angels in a trade that brought his contract, worth $32 million over the next two seasons, to the team. This move reflects the Angels' ongoing effort to improve their roster, although it raises questions about their overall strategy as they continue to struggle with a lack of coherent planning. Despite Soler's addition, the Angels are projected to face another challenging season, likely marking their tenth consecutive losing year.

At the beginning of the offseason, Bleacher Report identified Jorge Soler as the Braves' top trade candidate. However, he was subsequently traded to the Los Angeles Angels on October 31. This raises questions about whether Arcia is now considered the Braves' primary trade candidate by default, following Soler's departure.
