Trade Rengifo, Fletcher, Ward, Stassi, Suzuki, Walsh, Tepera, Loup, Iglesias.  

I would. Absolutely. Blow it all up and rebuild, this time correctly. Three years, five, whatever it takes.

I like Fletcher and Ward. The rest can go.

Might want to add Rengifo since he will have higher value now than when he likely regresses back to his norm

[T.G.]

It's guys like Rengifo that must make it hard to decide what to do when you're the GM.  Who is Rengifo?  Is he the guy who is playing out of his mind right now or the guy who looked like he'd never fulfill his potential.  I think being a GM is hard...

Don't know how reliable this person is but when it comes to the Dodgers(unlimited payroll and always a deep farm), you can simply just pencil them in on getting whoever the biggest name is available on the market. Good chance you'll end up being right a good % of the time

Must be nice having an owner(s) who aren’t afraid to spend on scouting and development and on improving the team at the same time.

Morosi wouldn’t pull Rengifo’s name out of thin air. Either his Angels source mentioned teams want him or other teams have mentioned the Angels are offering him. I actually said he was my sleeper trade candidate. Like @T.G.said it’s hard to tell if he is this or if he’s just on a hot streak. If a team sees his arrow pointing way up, and you can get a good young player then maybe you do it. Or pair him with a few other young players for a young stud?

Something maybe going on with Dodgers if they trade Lux to Nationals. Dustin May for Rengifo and Syndrtgaard

They better not hesitate or Arte will blow it up…

If you're fielding interest in Rengifo, I don't see how you wouldn't be doing the same on Ward or Walsh.

He's the guy playing out of his mind. It's just finally clocking for him, because he's matured and is getting the opportunity. 

This is the guy that was knocking on the door at age 22 and was drawing Jose Reyes comps. Because of bad GM decisions and losing a year in 2020, he's been delayed until this year, age 25. 

But he's just now entering his prime and now you're seeing what he's capable of. And even now, it's not like we're talking about a superstar. You're seeing a .270-.280 hitter with decent on base ability, probably 15/15 or 20/20 each year and can play shortstop. 

Not an all-star, but definitely a good, young, inexpensive leadoff hitter.

Minasian said everyone was in play. Yes things need to change and maybe wait until off season deal Ohtani.

Ok... that's all the confirmation I needed. 

Trade him now.

Funny one little post on Rengifo and halo fans get excited like something big is coming.

You are obsessed with trading with the Dodgers.  It’s weird.

Replying to his posts is also weird.

Probably correct.  But it’s hard not to stop and watch the lame mime who thinks the attention is coming from being genuinely entertaining rather being a spectacle.

Isn't it against the rules to trade players that are on the Injured List?

That's when PTBNL and Cash Considerations have their time to shine.
