Angels should dream impossibly big with Bryce Harper trade if Phillies create offseason chaos

Writer Evan Roberts argues that the Los Angeles Angels should pursue a blockbuster trade for Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper this offseason. Following Philadelphia's postseason exit against the Atlanta Braves, the writer suggests the Phillies could look to offload aging, expensive talent, creating an opportunity for the Angels to pair Harper with Mike Trout.

Roberts notes that Harper holds a no-trade clause and is signed through 2031 at approximately $25 million per year. However, the writer contends that new Angels majority owner Stan Kroenke has the financial resources to absorb the contract, while Trout's reported willingness to move to left field could allow both stars to share corner outfield and designated hitter duties.
