The Angels are closing in on a deal for Scott Kazmir, according to sources.
MLB.com is reporting that the Rays will receive two prospects: pitcher Alexander Torres and third baseman Matthew Sweeney.
Tampa Bay's motivation would be financially motivated.
Kazmir, who cleared waivers earlier this month, is making $6 million this year, and will make salaries of $8 million in 2010 and $12 million in 2011.
