Kazmir....

According to MLB.com's Lyle Spencer, the Angels are about to land Scott Kazmir from the Rays for prospects Alexander Torres and Matthew Sweeney.

The Angels had been rumored to be in the mix for Kazmir before the July deadline and have gotten their man. On the surface it's an odd move for the Rays, as Kazmir has pitched considerably better his past three starts and the team is still in the thick of the Wild Card race. Neither prospect is a significant property, either. Kazmir is due $22.5 million over the next two years of his contract, which he signed in May of last year.
