The Angels are reportedly on the verge of acquiring outfielder Joc Pederson from the Dodgers in a swap for surplus infielder Luís Rengifo.

The deal, reported first by ESPN’s Jeff Passan and not yet confirmed, would give the Angels a power-laden outfield of Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Pederson. Brian Goodwin would become the fourth outfielder, with top prospect Jo Adell waiting in the wings.

The Dodgers moved Pederson just as they were completing a reported deal to bring in Mookie Betts and David Price from Boston in a three-team deal involving Minnesota.

Pederson, 27, hit .249 with 36 homers and an .876 OPS last season. A left-handed batter, Pederson has one year left before free agency. He is set to make either $9.5 million or $7.75 million in his final year of arbitration, with a hearing set for sometime this month.

The Angels had been likely to use Goodwin as their everyday right fielder until Adell is ready. Goodwin hit .262 with 17 homers and a .796 OPS in 2019.

Rengifo became expendable when the Angels signed third baseman Anthony Rendon, leaving David Fletcher, Tommy La Stella and Rengifo to compete for time at second base. La Stella could also play some first base.

Rengifo, 22, hit .238 with a .685 OPS in 108 games in his rookie season.
