Traded to Angels The Angels have acquired Soler in a trade with Atlanta, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact There's no word yet on what Atlanta will receive in return, but it's unlikely to be substantial since Soler is owed $32 million over the next two seasons. Slated to turn 33 in February, Soler slashed .241/.338/.442 with 21 home runs over 142 games between San Francisco and Atlanta in 2024. He is likely to be used mostly, and perhaps exclusively, at designated hitter with the Angels.

Goes yard against Dodgers Soler went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-2 victory over the Dodgers.

Impact The Atlanta outfielder stretched the team's lead to 5-0 with a 393-foot, two-run blast to left off starter Landon Knack in the second inning. The long ball broke a stretch of 49 consecutive plate appearances without a homer for Soler, as he last went deep on Aug. 28 against Minnesota. The former World Series MVP has struggled in his return to Atlanta. He's now batting .217 (23-for-106) with six homers, 17 RBI and 17 runs scored over 34 games since arriving joining the club July 31.
