The Los Angeles Angels destroyed the Colorado Rockies last night, then proceeded to trade for Rockies' third baseman Mike Moustakas. After trouncing the team 25-1, the Angels made a deal for one of the Rockies' better hitters.It's not all that uncommon to see players traded to the other team mid-series, but after such a blowout, it's a surprise.The Angels put up franchise records for hits and runs scored in the 24-run victory. They homered on three consecutive pitches from Rockies' starter Chase Anderson. Moustakas was not in the lineup for the brutal beatdown. Today, he could be on the field against the team he played for yesterday.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_The Rockies have traded Mike Moustakas to the Angels in the middle of their series6528250The Rockies have traded Mike Moustakas to the Angels in the middle of their series https://t.co/POKRqH7GBjThe Rockies have not been good this season, posting a 30-49 record after the tough loss. They're not in contention and don't expect to be. The trade deadline is still a ways away, but they went ahead and made a deal to get something back for Moustakas, who wasn't going to be a part of their future regardless.Moustakas was one of the Rockies' more productive hitters, posting a 101 wRC+. That's good for fourth on the team, or at least it was. Now, he heads over to the Angels in the midst of a genuine playoff race.Here's what MLB fans had to say about the trade.anthony@HelsleysBurner@TalkinBaseball_ Bro lost 25-1 and just walked to the other clubhouse95718@TalkinBaseball_ Bro lost 25-1 and just walked to the other clubhouseAlbert@albertr_us@TalkinBaseball_ They took their dignity and the best player in 24 hours wow…6565@TalkinBaseball_ They took their dignity and the best player in 24 hours wow…Pat@BreakdownSox@TalkinBaseball_ So angels get to pick a Rockie for winning 25-1.

As Anthony Rendon recovers from injury, the team is providing backup and depth with Escobar and Moustakas.Mike Moustakas traded from Rockies to AngelsMike Moustakas was slightly below average defensively at third for the Rockies, posting a -1 DRS. In limited innings, he will probably be fine for the Angels and provide them with platoon options in Rendon's absence.Mike Moustakas changed teamsThe Angels are currently six games out of first place and tied for the third Wild Card in the American League with the Toronto Blue Jays.
