The Los Angeles Angels are looking to make an upgrade in left field, but their options appear limited.

Billy Eppler said Monday that he's "had conversations with free agents on the outfield market as recently as 24 hours ago," but wouldn't specify whether big names like Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon or Justin Upton were among them.

Arte Moreno has been adamant about staying below the $189 million luxury-tax threshold, a source said, and there were no indications of him changing his mind. The Angels would still like an upgrade in left field, but it doesn't look like they'll spend a lot to do so.
