The Los Angeles Angels did not trade shortstop Zach Neto at Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, according to multiple reports. Neto, 25, remains under team control for three more seasons after the conclusion of the 2026 campaign. That contractual situation is cited as a key factor in the Angels’ decision to keep him rather than include him among five players the team traded at the deadline. Both outlets frame the development around Neto’s stance when asked about his future in Los Angeles. He reportedly refuses to provide a clear answer about whether he expects to remain with the Angels beyond his current contract timeline. The reports describe this as a continued question for the franchise, but they do not provide any definitive indication of whether Neto plans to sign an extension or test free agency when eligible. Overall, the current coverage centers on his decision not to address his long-term plans and the Angels’ choice to retain him while continuing to evaluate the team’s direction following the deadline.
