The Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Angels made major news today with the announcement of a huge deal involving some notable players. The Rockies are trading 30-year-old starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez to the Angels for 35-year-old reliever Jason Bulger, 22-year-old minor league starting pitcher Tony Gonzáles and 23-year-old minor league starting pitcher Baudilio Lopez. The blockbuster transaction was finalized late yesterday and announced to the press this morning.

In season stats Jimenez shows a 10-4 record in 22 games, 137.2 innings, 130 strikeouts and a 3.79 ERA.

Gonzáles was drafted 13th overall in 2012 by the Angels, and this year was named the 32nd best prospect in baseball. In AA with the Angels, he put up a 10-9 record to go along with a 3.57 ERA. Lopez went 4-6 with a 4.75 ERA in Single A, and was selected to the California League All-Star Game earlier this season.

Bulger was 2-2 with 6 saves for the Angels this year, appearing in 46 games with a 1.92 ERA over 51.2 innings.

The trade was seen by some as an attempt by the Angels to shore up their starting rotation, which already includes reigning American League Rookie of the Year winner John Anderson (11-8, 2.42), Scott Kazmir (13-1, 2.76), and Josh Johnson (9-7, 4.16), who is suffering this year after signing with the Angels and moving to the American League in the offseason after posting a 17-7 record with a 2.96 ERA for the World Series winning Marlins last year.
