Scott Kazmir will have the option to demand a trade from the Angels this winter.

The Angels acquired Kazmir from the Rays for three prospects on Friday.

Because Kazmir was traded in the middle of a multi-year contract, he can force a move. However, the pitcher isn't worried about making a decision just yet.

"I'm looking at this year right now," Kazmir told the Los Angeles Times. "That's all I can think of.

"I would love to finish out my contract here, in an organization like this. I'm lucky to be a part of it."
