Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Angels general manager Tony Reagins shot down a FOX Sports report that linked the Angels to free agent left fielder Matt Holliday.
"He's a talented player, but our focus is not on him right now," Reagins told the newspaper.
Instead, the team will try to re-sign righthander John Lackey and third baseman Chone Figgins, though neither free agent is expected to re-up before the start of free agency Friday. Reagins also said he has been in discussions with the agents for the Angels' other prominent free agents, DH Vladimir Guerrero and reliever Darren Oliver.
However, Reagins wouldn't comment on trade rumors that have linked the team to White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko or Tigers center fielder Curtis Granderson.
"There are so many different rumors out there, it wouldn't be smart to comment on them," Reagins told the Los Angeles Times. "A lot of them don't make sense."
