By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — The MLB trade deadline has passed, and from my point of view, the two teams from Texas were the big winners when Houston reacquainted itself with Justin Verlander, and the Rangers really beefed up their pitching staff with the additions of Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, and Aroldis Chapman.
Angels fans also came up big when superstar Shoei Ohtani was not pawned off.
Can’t help but think what the Halos can be with a healthy Mike Trout and Ohtani forming the best one-two punch since Muhammad Ali was on the attack.
