And the moves the Halos have made already this offseason show a desperation to not sputter through another lost year. Adding Flaherty to the mix alongside Kikuchi, Kyle Hendricks, Tyler Anderson and Jos\u00e9 Soriano at least makes them interesting in the AL West race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Angels, to the surprise of many, are looking to buy and contend this winter. They&#8217;ve already added left-handed pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. Adding Flaherty alongside him while also adding a productive bat or two would give the Angels a chance to contend as the season goes on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently undergoing quite a bit of roster shakeup this winter.
