In other words, Fletch is saying the Angels are a maybe.

My personal opinion is the Angels will only go for it if they get Scherzer if not they will sell.

I love Scherzer, but unless they sign him to an extension before he comes here, please, please don't do this.  I can only imagine what they'd have to give up to beat the Dodgers or Padres for him.

I heard Scherzer won't agree to any trade without an extension.

I'd prefer to hear your professional opinion.

We should open another store in Riverside.

At the end of the day it is where does Max agree to be traded to.

We should open another store in Mission Viejo, near the Lake Forest border.

I agree.

Actually, this is true. The Riverside location off the 91 skus. It's a drive-thru only. I believe the other closest location is the one in Moreno Valley.

Cool the one on surfas club is too far from my house. A 6 minute walk is unacceptable

This rumor is not coming from section 248

[T.G.]

I think I'll have INO for dinner tonight.

So if the Angels are actually contemplating Scherzer and going after a Wild Card spot, they are in a position to be clever with the financials involved with Max's contract which has seven years of deferred money going out to 2028 ($15M per year from 2022-2028). They could be offering to eat more of that back-end money for a lesser return in prospects/players, which would probably intrigue the Nationals.

What I am trying to say is that if Arte is willing to go over the Luxury Tax threshold (which he has done, very minimally, before) and eat some of that long-term deferred money, the Angels could actually be seriously involved in this conversation.

Is it wise? I have no idea, I don't have access to all of the information that they do. I think if you polled everyone here, a lot would say don't do it, retool for next year. All of us are not Arte though. Curious to see what happens, but the Angels could make a provocative financial case with this particular player.

Dumbass, three weeks ago we opened one just a couple miles from the store you are referring to at the 91 and Van Buren

This is Heyman stirring the pot. He knows Minasian isn't going to address the rumor so he throws the Angels name out there. It's clicks.

If true, is that ethical for a journalist or does that matter?
