MLB News: At the trade deadline the Los Angeles Angels went all in and on paper acquired the most impactful players by swinging some significant trades. Their aggressive approach at the deadline was not only to better position themselves for a playoff spot, but to also show impending free agent Shohei Ohtani that they are committed to winning.
Unfortunately in the four games since the trade deadline has passed the Angels find themselves on a list of teams that have not won a game. Those losses have come at the hands of the Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners, in which the Braves have the best record in baseball and the Mariners are one of the hotter teams in the league right now.
MLB News: Aside from the Los Angeles Angels, which teams are winless since the trade deadline?
The other five teams that have not won a game since the trade deadline are the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, and Oakland Athletics. Half of these teams are currently competing for a spot in the post season.
Competing for either a NL Central Division crown or Wild Card entry are the Reds. They were rather quiet at the trade deadline and acquired just left-handed reliever Sam Moll. Cincinnati has sustained three losses to the Cubs and one to the Nationals since August 1.
Lastly there are the winless Arizona Diamondbacks. They made some impact moves at the deadline in which they acquired closer Paul Sewald, outfielder Tommy Pham, and infielder Jace Peterson. Their four losses post deadline have come at the hands of the San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins.
