According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports, the Los Angeles Angels are looking for an offensive upgrade. Earlier this week, we learned that the Angels and Cubs could be working on a deal that would ship Aramis Ramirez to Anaheim.

Ramirez, 33, is hitting .298/.346/.497 with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs in 86 games for the Cubs this season.  He’s in the final year of his five-year contract.  He’s owed roughly $7 million for the remainder of the season.

Morosi also says that the Braves are looking for a bat, preferably a right handed hitter. He points out that the Braves have the worst OPB in the Majors against left handed pitchers.

According to Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com, the Indians have been “kicking the tires for offensive help in trade market.” The question with them though is talent, not money says Castrovince, they will have to give up to make a deal he says.
