With the Los Angeles Angels having a 42-65 record and being at the bottom of the AL West, it is clear that they will be sellers at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline.
One of the Angels' top trade candidates with the deadline almost here is pitcher Reid Detmers. The 2020 first-round pick would be a good addition for a playoff team that is looking help with its rotation.
According to Yahoo Sports' Russell Dorsey, the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox are two teams that are linked to Detmers with the deadline getting closer.

"Multiple sources tell Yahoo Sports that the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox have each shown interest in Angels left-hander Reid Detmers," Dorsey wrote.

It is not too difficult to understand why the Cubs and White Sox are interested in Detmers. It is clear that they both need pitching help as they each look to maintain their playoff spots.
The Cubs have been hit with plenty of injury trouble with their pitching rotation this season. Because of this, it would make a lot of sense if they brought in Detmers. He would have the potential to be a strong pickup for the middle of their rotation during the final stretch of the season.
The White Sox are a team focused on both the present and the future, so Detmers would be a great fit on their roster. This is because he is under team control after the completion of the 2028 season. With this, he would be more than a rental for the White Sox, which adds to his appeal.
It will be interesting to see if the Cubs or White Sox can land Detmers by the deadline. Yet, they surely won't be the only teams interested.
