The Cleveland Guardians and Los Angeles Angels have agreed to trade outfielder Jo Adell to Cleveland, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Jacob Cozart, a catching prospect, is heading to the Angels as part of the deal, per Zack Meisel of The Athletic.
Adell, 27, has been with the Angels organization since being selected in the first round of the 2017 draft. The outfielder has played at the major-league level for the club, though reporting diverges on the length of his tenure—one outlet described it as a 10-year tenure with the organization, while another specified seven seasons with the major-league club.
per MLB Trade Rumors, the addition of Adell provides power to a Guardians lineup that has struggled to generate offense.
