I’ve had trust issues with the Angels for years, and Hendricks doesn’t make the situation any better. Hendricks has allowed 15 hits and nine runs in his last 13.1 innings, and he has a 4.38 ERA and .268 allowed batting average in 63.2 home innings. Greene has pitched just twice since June, but he has a 2.47 ERA and 0.93 WHIP on the season. At 26 years old, Greene is looking like one of the better young arms in the league. Give me the Reds.
