8/02/25	Angels Outfielder Gets Honest About Not Being Traded at Deadline. Despite interest in the market for a slugger like Taylor Ward, the Los Angeles Angels did not move the 31-year-old, opting to keep him as a key part of the team. The Angels didn't end up trading anyone at the deadline, opting instead to maintain the roster and hope for a post-deadline resurgence from younger players on the team. Ward still has another season of team control after this one, but his age doesn't fit with the team's current timeline, considering how much younger players like Zach Neto and Nolan Schaunel are.

7/22/25	MLB Mock Trade: Los Angeles Angels Deal Taylor Ward To Philadelphia Phillies. Despite having a significantly better season than expected, it still looks like the Los Angeles Angels may end up being sellers at the MLB July 31 Trade Deadline. The piece that they have to move that could bring back quite the haul is slugger Taylor Ward, who is in the midst of a monster season. Statistically speaking, he's also even more dangerous outside of Angel Stadium than he is hitting inside his home park. There are only a small handful of ballparks further away from Los Angeles than Philadelphia... Ward's power can spray all over the park, and the Phillies have a desperate need for power from the right side of the plate. Source: https://www.si.com/onsi/fantasy/mlb/mlb-mock-trade...
7/20/25	Angels’ Taylor Ward reaches milestone amid another hot streak. Ward hits his 99th and 100th career homers in back-to-back games, continuing a stretch that has seen him hit .310 over 18 games. Ward has 23 homers this season, just two from his career-high. Source: https://www.ocregister.com/2025/07/20/angels-taylo...
7/19/25	Taylor Ward's go-ahead homer leads Angels past Phillies. Taylor Ward hit a go-ahead two-run homer, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler also went deep, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Phillies 6-5 on Friday night. The teams combined to hit six home runs, but it was Ward's shot, his 22nd of the season, in the seventh that completed the Angels' comeback from a three-run deficit.

7/18/25	Angels Expected to Trade Star Outfielder in Potential Blockbuster Deadline Move. Taylor Ward is one of those players that would look great in another uniform. The star outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels has clubbed 21 homers this year before the All-Star break. While his .224 batting average isn't spectacular, Ward is in the 86th percentile in not chasing on swings. In short, playoff teams looking for a thumper that crushes the ball with good plate discipline is someone that could be very useful — especially versus left-handed pitching or coming off the bench to provide a real home run threat.

7/16/25	Phillies blockbuster trade pitch lands Angels outfielder in six-player swap. The Philadelphia Phillies' roster is on par with most other contenders, but there are some glaring weaknesses. Philadelphia's bullpen might be the shakiest of any presumptive National League contender. If the Phillies could get a lefty masher and a solid bullpen arm in the same deal with the Los Angeles Angels, wouldn't they have to consider it? Sportsnaut's Matt Higgins proposed such a deal in a hypothetical published on Tuesday: Angels outfielder Taylor Ward and reliever Reid Detmers for Phillies prospects Justin Crawford (OF), Mick Abel (SP), Gabriel Rincones Jr. (OF) and Mavis Graves (LHP).

7/14/25	Phillies Trade Idea Lands Angels' Taylor Ward to Replace Brandon Marsh. Let's see what Dave Dombrowski has up his sleeves during the trade deadline. It's uncertain exactly what he plans to do, but the Philadelphia Phillies need an outfielder, and at some point, as noted many times before, Dombrowski has to find a way to add a competent player to his outfield. There could be a few available, and when recently examining them, Thomas Erbe proposed the idea of the Phillies pulling off a “realistic trade” with the Los Angeles Angels to acquire Taylor Ward, an outfielder who has proven a good bit during his career.

7/10/25	Brewers Linked To Angels Veteran In Trade Talks: 'Power Bat'. Will the Milwaukee Brewers bolster their outfield with additional offensive strength before July 31? With the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaching in three weeks, the Brewers could be considering adding some pop to their lineup. Los Angeles Angels' power hitter Taylor Ward has frequently been mentioned in connection with Milwaukee recently. In a new top-40 trade targets list released Tuesday by The Athletic's Tim Britton, Aaron Gleeman, and Chad Jennings, Ward was ranked as the No. 22 player.

7/08/25	Angels Slugger With Trade Buzz Could Bring Brewers To Championship Level. The Milwaukee Brewers might want to have a conversation with the Los Angeles Angels before July 31. The Angels have a prime-aged slugger who's been in recent trade buzz, and according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, an impact bat is precisely what the Brewers need to become title contenders. “I think the Brewers are one big bat away from being a legitimate World Series contender,” Passan said this week on the Wilde & Tausch podcast. Enter Angels 31-year-old outfielder Taylor Ward, who has 20 home runs and a .777 OPS this season (entering Tuesday), and who, according to multiple sources, might be moved before the deadline.

7/06/25	Angels Predicted to Trade Star Outfielder at Deadline in Blockbuster Move. With the Los Angeles Angels making various personnel moves over the last few days, is a potential trade in the works? With the Houston Astros going on a heater in recent weeks, it's somewhat unlikely that the Halos will contend for an AL West division title. Having said that, the Angels are squarely in the mix for one of the Wild Card spots. Should the Angels opt to cash in on some of their veterans with the hopes of acquiring younger assets, the biggest name on the block likely would be 31-year-old outfielder Taylor Ward.

7/03/25	MLB Mock Blockbuster Trade: Los Angeles Angels Deal Taylor Ward to Houston Astros. Veteran outfielder Taylor Ward was the subject of quite a few baseball trade rumors last summer for the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles is only 2.5 games behind the final AL wild card spot despite having a below .500 record. Ward also has another year of team control on his current contract.

7/01/25	Astros trade proposal nets outfielder and reliever from Angels. For the Houston Astros, there are a few key needs in the buildup to the MLB trade deadline. In a piece for Bleacher Report, Joel Reuter presented a trade proposal that would net the Astros both of those pieces. Reuter predicted that the Astros would call up the Los Angeles Angels and land outfielder Taylor Ward and reliever Reid Detmers. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/houston-astros...

With the trade deadline approaching and the Angels continuing to fail to reach .500, the odds of a Taylor Ward trade are becoming more and more real in Anaheim. Despite being a fan favorite and one of the highlights of these abysmal seasons for the Halos, Ward's power bat will be a hot commodity come the trade deadline. Perry Minasian will have little choice but to trade Ward unless the Angels can make a genuine run at the American League Wild Card race. Source: https://halohangout.com/3-potential-taylor-ward-tr...
