I'd rather have Gausman still, and it seems the Mets and other teams are likely focused on him/Ray/Scherzer right now as the 3 big name SP still available

Could also be the right time to sign Stroman though....since his price could go up a tad if the market dries up and he ends up becoming BPA

He's a solid number 2 and give me solid 2s and 3s over a great number 1 and bunch of 4 and 5s

God Eppler’s such a homo

[Angelsfan1984]

Those pitchers though lol

[mmc]

 

[totdprods]

Wonder if this flurry is intended to try and sway a SP into signing with them...

Maybe even a SP who was close to signing with the Angels over the next couple of days.

[mmc]

How weirdly attached do you have to be to someone to mark a post insulting them as trolling over a year after they left the Angels for being shit at their job lmfao

[tdawg87]

What the fuck is going on

Says the dude who bitches about the guy when he made three good moves for his team today.

Lol, it’s just annoying that he wasted 5 years of this franchise and their GOAT’s prime by GMing like a complete coward just to see he had it in him to be aggressive all along, he just chose not to.  And no, it’s not an Arte thing because Minasian has also been aggressive to start the offseason

Sure.  Ok. 

[totdprods]

Eppler is in a nice position to now shop JD Davis or Dominic Smith to Miami as part of a package for one of their young arms. Or Oakland.

Gausman or Ray to the Mets is my guess now. Scherzer re-signs with the Dodgers

[failos]

I didn’t think mmc would burnout this early into the off-season.

[nando714]

Eppler is good

Yes, because the Mets' shopping spree today and the Angels' past reticence are both solely due to Eppler being a coward before and finding his spine now.

Its ownership, you donut. It has jack all to do with Eppler. 

[bloodbrother]

I don't know what I'll do if the A's STILL find a way to be better than the Angels next year. Would be quite sad

Don’t forget ignoring that the plan was always to spend money this year.

Right. Eppler literally said that when doing interviews after hiring on with the Mets. Short term deals waiting for the farm, and then go bigger around now. 

[UndertheHalo]

Mets payroll is like 225 million now.  They’re rich enough that they can spend more but it would be wild.  Anyway.  
 

 

[UndertheHalo]

Arte.  Do not let the Cohen shame you.

I’m not happy this evening . I’ve never seen such unprofessional behavior exhibited by a poster on AW. I guess words and promises don’t matter.
