Huston Street has just been acquired by the Los Angeles Angels from the San Diego Padres. Apart from Huston Street, prospect Trevor Gott experienced the very same thing. The two has been acquired for minor leaguers Jose Rondo, R.J. Alvarez, Elliot Morris, and Taylor Lindsey in a trade that happened on Friday night.
The 30-year-old Huston Street (1-0) has as much as 24 saves in 25 opportunities and also a 1.09 ERA in 33 games that were played just this season. Huston Street was rendered unavailable to the Padres during their 5-4 loss to the New York Mets played on Friday evening. At present, San Diego (41-55) holds the 3rd place position in the NL West.
Huston Street said before the game started, "Losing is a miserable experience. I believe in the Padres' ownership. They want to win and they are not content with status quo. I blame the players for what's happened here."
In 10 major league seasons that were played with Oakland (2005-08), Colorado (2009-11), and San Diego (2012-14), Huston Street is 35-27 with as much as 258 saves and has a 2.87 ERA. Huston Street converted 109 of his latest 117 save chances, the best mark in the majors in that particular span.
Currently, Huston Street ranks 5th in the active list when it comes to saves, and ranks 31st in overall rankings. As reported, the Padres were pretty upfront with him whenever trade talks were concerned. Huston Street said, "I asked questions and they gave me direct answers. They were extremely honest, said they were fielding offers, and asked me to not be offended." Huston Street was actually acquired by the Padres when the 2011 season ended.
The Los Angeles Angels, Huston Street's new team, entered Friday 1 ½ games behind the Oakland Athletics, which happens to be the current leading team in the league, in the AL West.
