Roughly a month later, they are waving the white flag. The Angels on Tuesday reportedly placed starter Lucas Giolito, relievers Matt Moore and Reynaldo López and outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk on waivers.

Giolito, Lopez and Grichuk were all deadline acquisitions. Los Angeles was 52-49 and 3½ games out of a wild-card spot when it announced it was holding onto Ohtani and risking losing him for nothing and making a big splash for Giolito to try to snap a postseason drought.

The Angels went into a tailspin as soon as the trade deadline passed.
