Jo Adell Ready For Playoff Chase With Guardians After Angels Trade
Former Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell is ready for a playoff chase with the Cleveland Guardians this season.
Jo Adell, who has never played in a playoff game during his seven-year MLB career, has been acquired last-minute by the Cleveland Guardians just before the MLB's August 3 deadline. The Los Angeles Angels traded Adell to Cleveland for catching prospect Jacob Cozart. The Guardians are currently trailing the Chicago White Sox by 3.5 games in the AL Central division.
Adell expressed his excitement about his debut with Cleveland, stating that the team's unity and drive for victory are remarkable. "The support and about wanting to win," Adell remarked, "and doing it for something that's bigger than yourself." Adell, who spent six and a half seasons with the Angels, played his first game for the Guardians on Tuesday, batting second in a 6-2 loss to the New York Mets.
He started in right field, going 2-for-4 with a single, a double, and a walk, and contributed to his team's scoring by scoring one of the Guardians' two runs.
