Just one day after acquiring Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino, the Los Angeles Angels strike two more deals for outfielders. The Halos nab Indians' David Murphy and Rays' David DeJesus.
According to L.A. Times' Mike DiGiovanna, the Angels will send Double-A SS Eric Stamets to the Indians for Murphy and rookie-league RHP Eduar Lopez to the Rays for DeJesus.
The 35-year-old DeJesus is hitting .259 with five homers and 26 RBI this season.
